Nanoscale rheology at solid-complex fluid interfaces

Abstract Here we present an approach to measure dynamic membrane properties of phospholipid membranes close to an interface. As an example we show results of the membrane dynamics of a phospholipid membrane multilayer-stack on a solid substrate (silicon). On this sample we were able to measure local...
