AFM in Nano-Biomechanics (October Journal Club Topic)

Submitted by Majid Minary on Fri, 2011-09-30 17:37.

Introduction:


The October 2011 journal club theme is "AFM in Nano-biomechanics". Nano-biomechanics is an emerging field that aims at exploring fundamental science and engineering related to biological materials at the nanoscale (http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/16475/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobiomechanics). Atomic force microscope (AFM) has been one of the instrumental tools in this field by providing pN force sensitivity, and better than nanometer spatial resolution.

Large deformation elasticity and damping of individual carbon nanotubes in radial direction

Submitted by Majid Minary on Tue, 2008-04-29 15:49.

Carbon nanotubes as strong fibers in CNT-composites are subjected to large deformations in radial direction. They provide strength as well as structural damping in the composite. Despite being strong in the axial direction, CNTs are rather soft in the radial direction.
