We used a combined atomic force microscopic (AFM)/fluorescence microscopic technique to study the mechanical properties of individual, electrospun fibrinogen fibers in aqueous buffer. Fibers (average diameter 208 nm) were suspended over 12 microm-wide grooves in a striated, transparent substrate. Th
## Abstract **Summary:** A method to measure the Young's modulus of a single electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber is reported. The Young's modulus can be calculated from the forceβdisplacement curves obtained by the bending of a single fiber attached to an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantile
