19. The higher slope for forces > 50 nN indicates that a stiffer material is being deformed under the tip: this could mean that the mica substrate that has a Young's modulus of 50 Gpa.
20. The total force applied on the nanotube is the normal force monitored during the experiment and the adhesion force measured in the retraction movement, 10 nN in this case (data not shown).
