Atomic force microscope-based methods for the nano-mechanical characterisation of hydrogels and other viscoelastic polymeric materials for biomedical applications

<p>Hydrogels, porous hydrated polymeric materials, are being increasingly used in biomedical applications. The mechanical properties of hydrogels play an important role in the success of many of these applications (e.g. tissue engineering and drug delivery), and can be modulated by external st...
