Nanomechanical Characterization of Bacterial Polyhydroxyalkanoates Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a promising class of biopolymers that can allow the production of sustainable plastic materials. The mechanical properties of such materials are very important for possible industrial applications, but the amount of polymer required for common mechanical testing can be orde...
