The tribological properties of behenic acid monolayers in CS and L 2 phases were investigated on the basis of scanning probe microscopic observations. The lateral (friction) force of the monolayers in CS and L 2 phases increased consistently with applied force. The increment in CS phase comes from an increase in contact area between a probe and the monolayer owing to elastic deformation,...
