I work on the development of elastic polymer actuators called hydrogels.
I can make these actuators on silicon wafers by photopatterning.
At the moment I would really like to know what the elastic properties
are
of my polymers but I don’t know a method to measure on such small
things.

Has anybody ever done such type of measurements or know a method to do
this ?

Kind Regards,
