36. o is 3.7 nm, this interfacial region constitutes at most a fraction of a percent of the total "sandwich" thickness. Consequently, even in the worst case studied here, less than 1% of the chromophores in the film sandwich are close enough before annealing to undergo any NRET.
37. -5, which is negligible.
38. gs as measured by DSC for the polymers employed in this study, PiBMA and PEMA, were unchanged by the low level of labeling or doping with chromophores; therefore, the introduction of the fluorescent chromophores at low levels does not significantly affect polymer dynamics in these systems. Thus, the dopant chromophores can be considered as diffusing from one film, of infinitesimal chromophore content, to another of zero concentration. Consequently, it can be assumed that the layered films used in this study constitute a continuous matrix through which the donor molecules diffuse.

(This is true even if the Stokes-Einstein equation is not strictly applicable as the parameter ξ accounts for the deviation from Stokes-Einstein behavior. See ref. 8 and I. Hadj Romdhane, R. P. Danner, and J. L. Duda, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 34, 2833 (1995), where this has been done previously.)
