37. Because of the mixing within the finite interfacial width between the microdomains, junction point fluctuations can also be dielectrically active; the intensity of such process is, however, very small. Alig, I.; Floudas, G.; Avgeropoulos, A.; Hadjichristidis, N. Macromolecules 1997, 30, 5004.

56. For reproducibility reasons, many samples were prepared following the same from-the-melt procedure. The dielectric data for the different samples are very similar (they almost superimpose at every temperature), thus verifying the fact that this sample preparation brings the system to the same stable state (at least within the time scale of the experiments).

77. According to eqs 5 and 1, for a monocrystalline structure, the correlations should have been calculated for the components of △R and R parallel to the electric field E, which for the experimental systems is parallel to the lamellar normal z. The orientation of the lamellae in the simulations is not known, and it is assumed that the calculation based on eqs 9-13 can capture the behavior.
78. The respective κ calculated with performing the averaging over all of the chains are 2.0 ± 0.38, 2.4 ± 0.40, and 3.2 ± 0.42 for BAB-20, -30, and -60, respectively. These values are consistent with those in Table 5, within the errors of both calculations.
