Fig. 4

a A cross-sectional SEM and AFM image of the film of R5 with (PA)3. b Adhesions and stiffness resulting from AFM force-distance curves (see Supplementary Figs. 73, 74 and Table 17). Each data point corresponds to the mean of 50–100 force measurement and the error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. Adhesion for R5 only could not be measured due to inhomogeneity of the film.
