High-resolution nanomechanical analysis of suspended electrospun silk fibers with the torsional harmonic atomic force microscope

Atomic force microscopes have become indispensable tools for mechanical characterization of nanoscale and submicron structures. However, materials with complex geometries, such as electrospun fiber networks used for tissue scaffolds, still pose challenges due to the influence of tension and bending...
