Adhesive and frictional forces between surfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and immersed in solvents were measured with chemical force microscopy as functions of surface functionality and solvent. Si/SiO 2 substrates were modified with SAMs of alkylsiloxanes (SiCl 3 (CH 2 ) n -X),
