3D Plot from Scientific Research

The increase in friction force at moderate coverage is explained by molecular dynamics simulations showing that water molecules penetrate the gaps between OTS molecules at moderate coverage (left zoomed-in panel) but cannot penetrate at high coverage (right zoomed-in panel). Throughout the figure, grey, purple, and green boxes correspond to low, moderate, and high coverage, respectively. Figure adapted with permission from ref. 5 , Springer Nature Ltd.
