What governs friction of silicon oxide in humid environment – contact area between solids, water meniscus around the contact, or water layer structure? Lei Chen, Chen Xiao, Bingjun Yu, Seong H. Kim, and Linmao Qian Langmuir, Just Accepted Manuscript • DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.7b02491 • Publication Date (Web): 21 Aug 2017 Downloaded from http://pubs.acs.org on August 23, 2017

Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.
