44. We note that it is possible to introduce a polymer-surface %, as well as a surfactant-surface x, into the SCF calculation.16 We can then calculate phase diagrams using these potentials and determine the influence of such interactions on the macroscopic phase behavior. This will be the subject of future studies.

63. While it would be useful to determine the optimal value of Pgr for each value otNgr, such a calculation is beyond the scope of this paper. It can be done by varying pp for a fixed N&, calculating and then comparing the SCF free energy curves. For more detailed discussion, see ref 16.
