Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The use of biopolymers in nanotechnologic applications, e.g. as coatings, is often limited by their suboptimal nanomechanical properties. Here we used an atomic force microscopy (AFM) based approach to study the elastic properties and thickness of surface supported DOPC membranes containing varying amounts of bolalipids (C 20 BAS) at the nanoscale. We found that increasing amounts of bolalipids led to higher stability and decreasing thickness of the bilayer membrane. A combination with fluorescence microscopy further allowed us to investigate phase separation on several length scales. We anticipate that similar characterizations will be helpful to optimize multi-component biopolymer coatings.
