59. The form of the theory of Lifshitz used by us assumes planar, smooth surfaces and requires specification of the distance (d in (4)) between the interacting "slabs" of materials. For materials "in contact", the graininess of the materials makes this physical picture questionable. The distance d also has atomic dimensions for materials "in contact" and thus any prediction is highly dependent on the value assumed for d.

67. A recent report has concluded that the index of refraction of SAMs decreases from 1.44 for m = 19 to 1.33 for m = 11 (see Ehler, T. T.; Malmberg, N.; Noe, L. J. J. Phys. Chem. B 1997, 101, 1268-1272). We have investigated the possible effect of the change in refractive index on our predictions using Lifshitz theory. A change in the refractive index of a SAM (for m = 5) from 1.45 (see Table 1) to either 1.50 or 1.33 is calculated to cause a change in contact angle of +0.5° and -1.1°. We conclude, therefore, that the chain-length-dependence of the refractive index, if correct, does not significantly change the contact angles we calculate in this paper.

71. The model we used to estimate the thickness of SAMs formed on silver and copper was based on a tilt of the alkyl chains of 12° (measured from the surface normal) and a twist of 45°. The bond lengths were assumed to be C-H 1.10 Å, C-C 1.54 Å, C-S 1.81 Å (see Kotz, J. C.; Purcell; K. F. Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity; Saunders College Publishing: San Francisco, CA, 1987). The distance between the sulfur and the silver or copper was assumed to be 1.50 Å. The equation for the thickness d of the SAM was derived to be d = 1.23m + 3.72 Å.

75. The small contact angles measured on mixed SAMs formed from two alkanethiols with different lengths have been interpreted in terms of dispersion interactions between the alkyl chains of the SAMs and the fluids in contact with the SAMs. (See: Laibinis, P.
