62. In earlier studies of covalently attached polymers on silanized glass substrates, the rupture of the Si-C bond in the silane anchor determined the available force range. There, an average rupture force of ∼2 nN was observed (cf. ref 30). Here, the β-hydroxyalkylamino groups formed upon reaction of amino groups with the epoxysurface functions appears to be the limiting factor. On average, the investigated system holds forces of ∼1.3 nN, the highest observed rupture force of single polymer strands was ∼1.9 nN (compare Figure 4a).

64. For comparison, the freely jointed chain (FJC) model has been used but was found to model the experimental data with less accuracy.

66. It should be mentioned that usually a readsorption of polyvinylamine molecules was observed when the AFM tip was brought into contact with the surface, following a previously measured desorption profile. For polymers of high charge density such as PVA(70%), occasionally this was even observed on reapproaching the surface before contact between tip and substrate was established.
