We have studied the nanomechanical behavior of aged PSAs successfully using our flexible experimental system. Also we have focused on refining the X-modulation technique by combining it with simultaneous measurement of a force-distance (F-d) curve, an extension which may prove useful for placing the measurements on a quantitative basis. Further methods for measuring important viscoelastic quantities such as shear modulus and relaxation time currently in progress.
