• indenter was used to image the area after the nanomechanical tests. The modulus of the PDMS was measured using PeakForce QNM (Quantitative Nanomechanical property mapping), an extension of the Peak Force Tapping® mode, using ScanAsyst-air probes (force constant of 0.4 N/m, Digital Instruments, Santa
