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
Silk fibers were treated with methacrylamide (MAA), and changes in the mechanical properties of the silk fibers were investigated. The breaking load of the silk fibers was almost unchanged, whereas rigidity was markedly increased by the methylmethacrylate (MAA) treatment. Elongation a t break of the
