Abstract
A method, which is called as "nanofishing," enables us to stretch a single polymer chain with picking it at its two modified termini using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Stress-strain curves obtained to data had been the result of slow pulling speeds and therefore observed phenomena had been interpreted as quasi-static responses. In this study, we extended the capability of nanofishing to the phenomena far from equilibrium state by giving much faster pulling speeds. We could observe a sudden increase in force which might be interpreted as an abrupt change in conformation and the successive relaxation process.
