18. Adjacent cylinders in Figure 2 are spaced by 35-40 nm, which is considerably expanded from the value of 24 nm for the melt state, as seen in Figure 3b. The osmotic stresses generated during swelling of the thin polymer film were apparently alleviated by large-scale rear-rangement of the initial 2D hexagonal mesostructure to allow cylinders to adopt an expanded nearest-neighbor spacing in-plane as well as out-of-plane.

21. The iodine signal oscillates slightly due to the incorporation of DIB into the P2VP component of the polymer.
22. Virtually identical structures were observed for the block-copolymer film before and after P2VP crosslinking, indicating that the morphology is not significantly altered by the crosslinking procedure.
23. Details of the interaction between P2VP and silica are not yet wellunderstood. The mechanism is thought to involve enhanced condensation of silica in the presence of the block-copolymer template, and/ or favorable interactions (i.e., hydrogen bonding) between P2VP moieties and the silica oligomers. There have been previous reports of silica templating by poly(vinylpyridine) under acidic conditions [24-26], and poly(2-vinylpyridine) is known to adsorb strongly on silica surfaces under highly acidic conditions [27].

28. The silicon signal lags the deuterium signal by slightly more than half the period of the oscillation, presumably due to the slower etching of silica relative to polystyrene by the oxygen-ion beam of the SIMS instrument.

39. The particles were not deposited by sedimentation (films were immersed in the precursor solution in a vertical orientation) but apparently nucleated on the film surface. This most likely occurred due to the proximity of the processing conditions (pH and concentration) to the stability limits for the titania precursor, beyond which macroscopic precipitation of titania was observed [40].
