• anatase TiO2 nanobelts, onto which SAMs of long chain carboxylic acids, exposing hydrophobic terminating groups, were chemisorbed [88]. An UV-induced compressive force between the nanoparticles and the TiO2 nanobelts could be inferred based on Raman spectroscopy. To our understanding, this compressive
