The surface morphology and elastic modulus of chitosan/gelatin hybrid polymer network (CS/GLN HPN) gels was investigated by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surface domains of hydrogel varied from irregular clumps to sponge-like patterns with increasing swelling time. The vertical height a

The elastic modulus (G') of factor XIIIa induced fibrinogen gels was found to be substantially lower than the G' of fibrin gels that were formed by clotting fibrinogen with thrombin. The addition of fibronectin and/or the reducing reagent dithiothreitol (DTT) to the factor XIIIa coagulation mixture
## Abstract Biofilm mechanical properties are essential in quantifying the rate of microbial detachment, a key process in determining the function and structure of biofilm systems. Although properties such as biofilm elastic moduli, yield stress and cohesive strength have been studied before, a wid
