68. The overall chain conformation is likely substantially altered in nanoconfined films, adopting, on average, an ellipsoidal conformation with a large aspect ratio as opposed to the random coil expected in bulk.

78. It should be noted that Donth's method has been described in the literature (see ref 56) as being controversial as it theoretical basis has not been verified.
79. CRR value of ∼3.5 nm for PS and that measured by Donth of ∼3.0 nm.
80. Given the assumptions employed in Donth's method (see ref 79), the associated error significantly exceeds ±0.1 nm.

84. CRR values for glycerol obtained by Donth (which are consistent with our data) and those obtained using 4D NMR. However, that discussion invokes the use of a temperature dependence for the size scale or number of units in a cooperatively rearranging region that is different from that mentioned in our paper.
85. g, we had a couple of reasons for believing that it was important to perform our own investigation of this issue. First, we needed to establish credibility for our experiments, which also included the effects of diluent addition to PS and modification of repeat unit structure. Second, ref 49 has been virtually forgotten in the research literature, even by Donth himself, who has not cited this reference in his later studies. This led to some concern on our part regarding the reference; those concerns were allayed by our measurements. (It should be noted that the results in ref 49 are from analysis of measurements published in: Krause, S.; Iskander, M.; Iqbal, M. Macromolecules 1982, 15, 105-111).
86. CRR obtained from our experimental studies are calculated without employing Donth's correction factor, S (see ref 79).

94. CRR assumed that all units were PS repeat units.
95. CRR to be approximately the same in the two polymers, the value of the S parameter for PTBS would need to be about 4 times that of PS.
