17. Since the substrate surface area was much smaller than the total film area on the trough, this did not produce noticeable inhomogeneity.
18. It is well-known that AFM images of an object whose size is comparable to the tip apex are significantly affected by the tip contour. In particular, lateral sizes of objects tend to be broadened. Thus, the tape width of 80 nm and the cluster diameter of 20 nm should be taken as the upper limits of true values.
19. Similar tape structures are observed in polysiloxane monolayers (Fang, J.; Dennin, M.; Knobler, C. M.; Godovsky, Y. K.; Makarova, N. N.; Yokoyama, H. J. Phys. Chem. B 1997, 101, 3147-3154.) when it is collapsed.

22. 2/molecule), and with or without compression (additions of the solution only) made no difference in the tape formation. Also, there was no preferential orientation of the tapes with respect to the lifting direction. Chloroform and benzene as a spreading solvent have yielded the identical result. Absence of chlorine peak in XPS indicated that there was no residual solvent molecules in a film.
23. The tapes were found to orient indifferent to mica defects and lie over the mica steps without any discontinuity. Transferring onto a hydrophilic glass caused the tapes to stick together randomly, suggesting that the tapes could not adhere onto the surface as water drained.
24. This temperature is much lower than the lowest phase transition temperature of C7 at 154°C in bulk. (Sano, M.; Kunitake, T. Langmuir 1992, 8, 320-323.)

Langmuir 1998, 14, 1786-1798.) and in a block copolymer monolayer (Li, S.; Hanley, S.; Khan, L.; Varshney, S. K.; Eisenberg, A.; Lennox, R. B. Langmuir 1993, 9, 2243-2246.). The 2D micelles are mentioned in these papers, based only on morphological appearances without giving physical characteristics.
