54. Zero acceleration could not be safely identified, due to inaccuracies in retrieving the center of rotation in the AFM.

56. Only the monomer has a lower mass; however, it shows a very weak interaction with the substrate only. This is to be elucidated in a forthcoming publication.

65. A lower prepolymer cohesion is unlikely to occur, because the cohesion is expected to be independent of the substrate material unless there should be a nonadditivity of the molecular forces involved.
