Elasticity of rubber-like materials measured by AFM nanoindentation
We exploit the force spectroscopy capabilities of the atomic force microscope in characterizing the local elasticity of rubber-like materials. Extraction of elastic properties from force curves usually relies on the linear theory pioneered by Hertz. While the Hertzian force-indentation relationships...
