Effect of Humidity and Hydrophobicity on the Tribological Properties of Self-Assembled Monolayers

<table>The lateral force images of ODT SAMs in (a) air (20% RH), (b) water for 5 minutes, and (c) water for 70 minutes. The dark part is the ODT SAM pattern, and the bright part is the gold substrate. The scale bar in (c) is the same for all images. </table>
