21. Here, q denotes the momentum transfer and is defined by the wavelength λ of the radiation and the angle θ between the incident and scattered beam according to q = 4π/λ sin(θ/2).

30. A density scaling exponent α = 2 is also relevant for a radial string of blobs of uniform size.
31. The fully stretched value of the radius amounts 25.5 nm, as estimated from the sum of the core radius 4.5 nm and the contour length of the PA block (85 monomers/chain with a vinylic step length 0.25 nm).
