31. For the preparation of microtomed samples, the as-synthesized silver nanowires were dispersed in Spurr's epoxy with a low viscosity (Polysciences, Warrington, PA) and were then allowed to polymerize for 48 h at 60-65°C. A microtome (Reichert/Jung Ultra-cut E, Leica, Arcadia, CA) equipped with a diamond knife was used to cut the cured epoxy resin into slices with a thickness of less than 100 nm. These slices were then placed on carbon-coated copper grids (Ted Pella, Redding, CA) for TEM studies.
