31. We adopt the notation that K is a species label (A or B) and K′ is the complimentary label (B or A).
32. Of course, if the copolymer layers are highly swollen with homopolymer, we expect that the fraction of B blocks that bridge rather than loop will be significantly reduced.
33. Straightforward corrections to account for differences in statistical segment lengths of the A and B components may prove necessary.
