Abstract
The effects of two key experimental parameters on the measured nanomechanical properties of lamellar and interlamellar tissue were examined in dehydrated rabbit cancellous bone. An anhydrous sample preparation protocol was developed to maintain surface integrity and produce RMS surface roughnesses a …
