Atomic force microscopy probing methods for soft viscoelastic synthetic and biological materials and structures

The focus of this dissertation is on refining atomic force micrscopy (AFM) methods and data analysis routines to measure the viscoelastic mechanical properties of soft polymer and biological materials in relevant fluid environments and in vivo using a range of relevant temperatures, applied forces,...
