Understanding structure-property relationships in biological tissues and bioinspired materials using nondestructive characterization techniques

摘要

Chemical and mechanical characterization of biomaterials and biological tissues can be obtained from non-destructive spectroscopy, imaging, and AFM methods. Utilizing non-destructive methods preserves specimen for multiple testing modalities. Additionally, the methods used to non-destructively characterize samples may be useful diagnostic tools for medical care providers utilizing biomaterials in patient management strategies.
