Measuring elasticity of wet cellulose beads with an AFM colloidal probe using a linearized DMT model

摘要

The mechanical properties of wet cellulose are investigated using an atomic force microscope AFM and calculated using a linearized DMT model. Measurements were performed using a model system of gel beads made of cellulose with different charge densities, which show a high impact on the mechanical properties of the cellulose in wet state.
