43. A direct measurement of grafting density and the polymer chain length is rather difficult due to the very small number of polymer chains at surfaces.

49. We note that for deformable materials the "zero distance" becomes a matter of definition. [35] There is an error of a few nanometers due to the determination of the point of contact, which is shown in Figure 3a-c.
50. It should be noted that the obtained Young's modulus value here is the apparent Young's modulus, as the effect of the solid support cannot be neglected, even though only a small amount of deformation was probed.

58. For this film, the stress field does not decay within the brush; thus there is a finite force acting on the substrate which will influence the modulus measured.
59. Here we use "adherence" to describe the practical work of adhesion to emphasize differences between its value and the magnitude of thermodynamic adhesion. The latter, if expressed in work of adhesion, corresponds to the reversible free energy change per unit surface area when two contacting surfaces are moved apart from contact to infinite distance of separation. Thus, adherence also includes the energy dissipated during separation of the contacting surfaces from each other.
