“Measuring the Poisson’s Ratio of Fibronectin Using Engineered Nanofibers”

John Szymanksi and Kairui Zhang are co-authors on our recent article in Scientific Reports entitled “Measuring the Poisson’s Ratio of Fibronectin Using Engineered Nanofibers.” This article used AFM imaging of fibronection nanofibers over a wide range of deformations to show that volume is conserved, thus behaving as an elastic material with a Poisson’s ratio of ~0.5.
