Cell Mechanical Properties

Characterization of cell mechanical properties plays an important role in disease diagnoses and treatments. This paper uses advanced atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure the geometrical and mechanical properties of two different human brain normal HNC-2 and cancer U87 MG cells. Based on experimental measurement, it measures the cell deformation and indentation force to characterize cell mechanical properties. A fitting algorithm is developed to generate the force-loading curves from experimental data. An inverse Hertzian method is also established to identify Young's moduli for HNC-2 and U87 MG cells. The results demonstrate that Young's modulus of cancer cells is different from that of normal cells, which can help us to differentiate normal and cancer cells from the biomechanical viewpoint.

Micro and Nano Features of Microstructural Properties along with Micro-Cracks and Voids, which Severely Affect the Strength and Toughness of the Material, Were Studied in Commercial EN9 Steel Round Product by Using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). this Has Overcome the Limitations of Optical and Scanning Microscopy. the Aim of the Present Work Is to Characterize the Pearlite Matrix Properties for Nanoscale Results as Pearlitic Morphology and Lamellae Play a Significant Role in Influencing the Mechanical Properties. it Is Also Shown that the Atomic Force Microscope Is a 3D Characterizing Tool which Can Facilitate Visualizing the Adjacent Corners in Alternate Layers of Ferrite-Cementite Lamellae. it Is Also Noted that the Micro-Sized Cracks Exist at the Weak Interfaces between the Ferrite and Cementite Lamellae, which Would Limit the Work Hardening Property of Pearlite and Thus Reduce the Ultimate Tensile Strength Significantly. in Addition, Phase Transformation from γ-Phase to Pearlite Was Schematically Predicted and Discussed as Evident from Microstructural Characterization.

In this work, a mechanically durable anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating is developed using a nanocomposite coating solution composed of silica nanoparticles and epoxy resin. The nanocomposite coating developed was tested for its superhydrophobic behavior using goniometry; surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; elemental composition using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; corrosion resistance using atomic force microscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating possesses hierarchical micro/nanostructures, according to the scanning electron microscopy images, and the presence of such structures was further confirmed by the atomic force microscopy images. The developed nanocomposite coating was found to be highly superhydrophobic as well as corrosion resistant, according to the results from static contact angle measurement and potentiodynamic polarization measurement, respectively. The abrasion resistance and mechanical durability of the nanocomposite coating were studied by abrasion tests, and the mechanical properties such as reduced modulus and Berkovich hardness were evaluated with the aid of nanoindentation tests.
