متن کاملViscoelastic Properties of Biological Materials
Almost all of biological tissues are viscoelastic and their viscoelastic mechanical properties are important in their characteristic functions. This is because constituents of tissues cells, extracellular matrices, structural proteins, and so on are viscoelastic. Even hard tissues have been shown to be viscoelastic. For long, main sample material for investigating the viscoelasticity has be...
متن کاملFlexoelectricity in soft materials and biological membranes
Flexoelectricity and the concomitant emergence of electromechanical size-effects at the nanoscale have been recently exploited to propose tantalizing concepts such as the creation of “apparently piezoelectric” materials without piezoelectric materials, e.g. graphene, emergence of “giant” piezoelectricity at the nanoscale, enhanced energy harvesting, among others. The aforementioned developments...
متن کاملTaming Membranes: Functional Immobilization of Biological Membranes in Hydrogels
Single molecule studies on membrane proteins embedded in their native environment are hampered by the intrinsic difficulty of immobilizing elastic and sensitive biological membranes without interfering with protein activity. Here, we present hydrogels composed of nano-scaled fibers as a generally applicable tool to immobilize biological membrane vesicles of various size and lipid composition. I...
متن کاملMechanical and Microstructural Properties of Biological Materials
Biological materials, such as isolated protein networks, tissues and living cells are extremely heterogeneous and contain structures on length scales from nanometers to hundreds of microns. Their complex geometries and sensitivity to environmental conditions make traditional measurements of structure and mechanics difficult, challenging experimenters to develop new techniques. In this work, we ...
