Subjects:	Polyacrylonitriles, Nanostructured materials, Dzenis, Yuris
Abstract:	The article reports on the results of a study by University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Yuris Dzenis and colleagues which found that polyacrylonitrile fibres became tougher as their diameters narrowed, contradicting conventional belief that tough fibers become brittle when stretched.
