To check that the change in morphology observed after the immersion is not due to an experimental artefact [for instance related to the AFM imaging procedure itself], the investigated coatings were imaged at different tapping forces by varying the set point to free amplitude ratio [Rsp] from 0.4 to 0.9. No significant differences were detected. Similar morphological reorganizations of the surfaces were observed whatever the applied tapping force.
