Abstract Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) realized by atomic force microscope (AFM) on a single polymer chain (static nanofishing), where a polymer chain is picked up and pulled at its chemically modified terminals, only gives structural information such as persistence length and contour length. Beyond this technique, dynamic nanofishing, where an AFM cantilever is imposed on the forced oscillation at its resonant frequency (∼10 kHz), enables us to investigate more fruitful information. The method gave extension-dependent changes of entropic elasticity and frictional coefficient with solvent molecules for mono-disperse living-polymerized polystyrene (PS). The solvent temperature dependence revealed that the frictional coefficient could be correlated with macroscopic “intrinsic viscosity.” Another novel technique, nanofishing at fast pulling rate (fast nanofishing), exhibited internal entanglement of a single PS chain and its subsequent relaxation.

The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.
