Integrated surface and mechanical characterization of freestanding bological and other nano-structures using atomic force microscopy

This dissertation is focused on surface and mechanical characterization of freestanding biological and other nano-structures using atomic force microscopy including two parts: cell mechanics and nano-structure mechanics. The main purpose of this work is to investigate how the nano- / micro-scale mec...
