Force spectroscopy for Nanomechanical measurements

Speaker: Dr. Patrick Frederix

In this video on the use of force curves to measure nano mechanical properties of soft materials, Dr. Patrick Frederix, application scientist, shows how to setup and measure force curves on a FlexAFM. 

He compares force curves obtained on two different polymers and discusses how we can deduce the nanomechanical properties from these force curves.
