28. This was confirmed for the homo-PIC synthesized by our method although the second endothermic DSC peak near 127°C is unlikely to be the isotropic transition temperature as claimed in ref 27. Polarized optical microscopy showed the isotropization temperature is well above 150°C where its structural identification is complicated by the accompanying cross-linking reaction.
29. In PIC(23K)/PS(39K) which has a rod fraction of 37%, we observed the glass transition of PS block near 77°C, two endothermic peaks at 102 and 128°C and a broad exothermic curve for cross-linking reaction above the second melting through 200°C.
30. The films were cast from solution in THF with concentrations of 5-15%.
31. In the presence of a small amount of solvent, additional peaks corresponding to hexagonal order are also observed in the solution-cast PIC-PS samples. See: Park, J. W.; Thomas, E. L. Adv. Mater. 2003, 15, 585.
