30. For a 90 nm thick film of PS-L-R autophobic behavior (signs of hole formation) was observed only after annealing the sample for 48 h at 160 °C.

32. This can be inferred, for example, from a comparison of Figures 6 and 7. A quantitative study will be performed in the future.

34. This concept of inner and outer regions may also hold for layers of adsorbed polymers. We expect that dewetting will be observed for systems where an inner repulsive region exerts a larger driving force than the resisting force due to tails and loops embedded in the melt of nonadsorbed molecules. This might be the case for a layer of irreversibly and strongly adsorbed short polymers coated by a layer of much larger polymers.
35. We assume that there exists a threshold force for pull-out similar to what was predicted for the case of adhesion. See: Raphaël, E.; de Gennes, P.-G. J. Phys. Chem. 1992, 96, 4002.
