32. 2 nanostructure has a kink since the nanowire changed growth direction during fabrication, which in principle is able to dominate the performance of the chemiresistor. It turns out that the kink appears not to be an electroactive defect and did not disturb neither Ohmic behavior nor expected value of the conductance. The plausible explanation is that the nanostructure's diameter is ca. 100 nm and therefore the scattering effects due to surface and/or morphology inhomogeneities have a minor effect.
