Applications based on Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) are good exampleof the great need to continuously develop metrology methods in the field ofnanotechnology. Contact and interface properties are key parameters thatdetermine the efficiency of SWNT functionalized nanomaterials and nanodevices.In this work we have taken advantage of a good control of the SWNT growthprocesses at an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip apex and the use of a lownoise (1E-13 m/rtHz) AFM to investigate the mechanical behavior of a SWNTtouching a surface. By simultaneously recording static and dynamic propertiesof SWNT, we show that the contact corresponds to a peeling geometry, andextract quantities such as adhesion energy per unit length, curvature andbending rigidity of the nanotube. A complete picture of the local shape of theSWNT and its mechanical behavior is provided.
