26. The tail structure is not considered in the case of the 290-470-290 and 580-1620-580 triblock copolymers since the PVP block of these triblock copolymers are considerably longer than that of the 90-580-90 triblock copolymer. Contacts between long PVP block with the homopolymer PS (as in the tail structure case) would be very unfavorable since the Flory interaction parameter is large in the PS/PVP system.
