Abstract

Polymeric Nanofibers In article number 2300379, Tomas P. Corrales, Horacio V. Guzman, and co-workers combine atomic force microscopy experiments, analytical theory and simulations to determine the elastic properties of the nanofibers with varying relative-humidities. The test-case using polyvinyl-alcohol nanofibers shows considerable differences in the peak-forces, which are strongly dependent on the molecular signatures of hydration-adsorption at polymer-chain level. The introduced semi-empirical models play a crucial role to properly interpret experiments on hygroscopic bio-compatible polymers.
