23. 2 because we were planning to use these materials in small angle neutron scattering studies. All the characteristics reported in this paper refer to the hydrogenated components. However, all the blends studied in this paper contained the partially deuterated block copolymers. The presence of deuterium labels on the block copolymers is irrelevant to the present study. The average number of D atoms per Ce repeat unit is about 5 for both PE-PP[45-90] and PE-PP[115-65].

25. 3. The high densities of the block copolymers are due to the presence of deuterium labels.
