Nanomechanical Characterization of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Superlattice with Novel Atomic Force Microscopy Methods

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been widely studied due to its excellent properties. In order to utilize TMV superlattice, this thesis initiates the study on its mechanical properties. The elastic modulus of TMV superlattice was first assessed by means of AFM-based nanoindentation and extended JKR mo...
