Cohesive and adhesive properties of crosslinked semiflexible biopolymer networks
Abstract
Cohesive and adhesive properties of a semiflexible biopolymer network are correlated: stiff networks tend to have lower interfacial energy, and lower work of adhesion; considerable strain energy is stored within the network and contributes significantly to the work of adhesion.
