18. Differences in elasticity constants probably originate from slight differences in polymer preparation between different samples and from uncertainties in the tip force constant.
19. The Poisson ratio (v) is 0.5 for an incompressible medium but can be less.
20. The large error bars in Ē″ are a result of the strong surface artifact and the phase resolution.
