Abstract
Shear force measurements on self-assembly monolayers, which show domains of opposite water affinity, are performed with conventional Al-coated and fun ctionalized near-field probes. Approach curves are discussed, illustrating the influence of the wettability properties of the tip as well as the sampl e on the oscillation amplitude damping of the probe.
