15. Note that the dewetting of the solution on HOPG surface furnished a way to probe the variation of the gelator-solvent interaction, which should similarly occur during the gelling of a bulk solution of the mixture.
16. Refer to the highest position relative to the blank areas in the image. The height of the feature was measured from the image in height mode, which was simultaneously acquired with the image in amplitude mode. The heights in the subsequent text were measured under the same condition.
