(Pressure vs the coating layer thickness). Rescaled net pressure is plotted as a function the coating layer thickness, R1 − R0, for (a) q = + 2 and (b) q = −4, and for fixed σ1 = −1.5 nm−2 and R2 − R1 = 1 nm. Other parameters are as in Fig. 2. See the text for details on the designations “NP” and “no NP” in the legends.
