26. The latest reports by Kim and Russell (Ref. 9) on the immiscibility loop with both LDOT and UODT observed in the polystyrene-b-poly(n-pentyl methacrylate) melts raise a question about the origin of LDOT phenomena (compressibility difference or directional interaction) in this and other homologous block Copolymers. A manuscript dealing with this topic is in preparation now.
