Lipid Films, Magnetic Lipid Films, and Their Mechanical Properties

ORAL

Abstract

Three techniques were used to produce thin lipid films and magnetic-nanoparticle-embedded lipid films on flat substrates: spin-coating, capillary, and natural-dry methods. The morphology and the homogeneity of these films were analyzed by Atomic Force Microscopy. The local mechanical properties of these films were studied and will be discussed.
