31. The volume fraction of PEO in EO-1 using the corrected densities of the component blocks is different from the densities reported in ref 15, since the high-molecular-weight densities were used in that reference.

35. -2 (Gaussian coil scattering). For the EO and EED microemulsion data we fit the entire data set to eq 1. For the EP data, however, we fit the low-q data only (peak). For a discussion of the scaling at large q for Gaussian chains, see Chapter 6 in ref 28.
36. The PE in both the block copolymer and the binary blends limits the lower temperature that can be accessed experimentally. For the block copolymer this temperature is 90°C, and for the binary blend 60°C is the low-temperature limit.
37. In alkylpolyglucoside-based surfactant systems the temperature stability of miocroemulsions can be increased relative to typical nonionic surfactants (ethyleneoxide-based); however, stability ranges of only 20°C are considered large in these systems.
