13. The cross-linking was done in the scattering chamber of the NRA setup. The beam was defocused to a beamspot with radius 1 cm in order to give a homogeneous beam over the whole sample.

20. At low temperatures the dewetting process is much slower than the diffusion process. But for long enough annealing times also at T = 80 °C dewetting could be observed.
