41. The two solvents of THF and methanol are well-mixed by vigorous, shaking, and the solutions are allowed to take enough time to reach equilibriums. The images shown in Figures 2 and 3 are thus the final morphological structures formed by the well-equilibrated solutions at the specific solvent compositions.
