Elastic Properties of Poly(ethylene glycol) Nanomembranes and Respective Implications
Free-standing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) membranes were prepared from amine- and epoxy-terminated four-arm STAR-PEG precursors in a thickness range of 40–320 nm. The membranes feature high stability and an extreme elasticity, as emphasized by the very low values of Young’s modulus, varying from 2.0...
