Nanomechanical properties of reversed surfactant bilayers formed in micrometre-sized holes.
Nanomechanical properties of free-standing reversed surfactant bilayers, dried foam films (DFFs), were examined via AFM by fitting local force-indentation curves with a Hertzian model. The Young's moduli of four kinds of bilayers were in a range of 10-30 MPa.
