Dynamic mechanical analysis of collagen fibrils at the nanoscale.

no === Low frequency (0.1¿2 Hz) dynamic mechanical analysis on individual type I collagen fibrils has been carried out using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Both the elastic (static) and viscous (dynamic) responses are correlated to the characteristic axial banding, gap and overlap regions. The elast...
