8. Diblock copolymers consisting of chemically connected side-chain liquid crystalline and flexible blocks yielding self-organization at two length scales are described by, for example, M. Yamada, I. Tsukasa, A. Hirao, S. Nakahama, and J. Watanabe [Macromolecules 28, 50 (1995)], G. Mao et al., [ibid. 30, 2556 (1997)], H. Fischer and S. Poser [Acta Polym. 47, 413 (1996)], and G. Mao and C. K. Ober [ibid. 48, 405 (1997)]. Compared with our work, the structure formation in such materials invokes an additional ordering principle because the short length scale results from the mesogenic nature of the side chains.

22. The motivation to protonate side chain-conjugated P4VP by MSA originates from previous studies: The main chain-conjugated polyaniline can be doped to yield electronic conductivity by protonating the iminic nitrogens with stoichiometric amounts of strong acids [J.-C. Chiang and A. G. MacDiarmid, Synth. Met. 13, 193 (1986)]. The amines of polyethylene imine can be protonated by stoichiometric amounts of sulfuric or phosphoric acid to yield protonic conductivity (18).
