Mechanical Investigations on Agar Gels Using Atomic Force Microscopy: Effect of Deuteration.
No === The isotopic effect of exchanging deuterium with hydrogen on the mechanical and surface properties of agar gel is examined. The elastic modulus of the D2O gels obtained by AFM nanoindentation is significantly higher (factor of 1.5¿2) than the modulus found in H2O agar gels. Furthermore, the...
