Impact of surface adhesion and sample heterogeneity on the multiscale mechanical characterisation of soft biomaterials
Abstract The mechanical properties of soft materials used in the biomedical field play an important role on their performance. In the field of tissue engineering, it is known that cells sense the mechanical properties of their environment, however some materials, such as Sylard 184 PDMS (poly(dimeth...
