14. The contact mechanics model developed in refs. JCPpers,PerssonPRL,PSSR, P1,Bucher,YangPersson,PerssonJPCM takes into account the elastic coupling between the contact regions in the nominal rubber-substrate contact area. Asperity contact models, such as the "standard" contact mechanics model of Greenwood-Williamson GW, and the model of Bush Bush, neglect this elastic coupling, which results in highly incorrect results Carlos,Carbone, in particular for the relations between the squeezing pressure and the interfacial separation Lorenz

22. Figure pic.Az.Azdz.rough(a) is schematic as in reality the contact islands at high enough magnification are fractal-like, and decreasing the magnification results in more complex changes than just adding strips (of constant width) of contact area to the periphery of the contact islands. However, this does not change our conclusions.
23. 1(ζ) is already an averaged separation and indicate that in this case α ≈ 0.5.
