30. Based on our DSC measurements, the glass transition temperature of PS blocks was at 62°C, and the melting temperature of the PEO block crystal was at 58°C.

32. Our DSC experiments on collected "sandwiched" PEO-b-PS single crystals from amyl acetate solution showed that the heiat of fusion under the melting endotherm of these crystals is 8.2 kJ/mol, which equvalent to 95% of the PEO crystal-unity (the equilibrium heat of fusion is 8.66 kJ/mol). Note that this calculation needs to take the percentage of the PEO blocks in the diblock copolymer into account.

39. PS for these PS samples were estimated from hydrodynamic radius in amyl acetate were 2.7, 4.1, and 5.4 nm, respectively. The results show that for PS chains amyl acetate is a very good solvent, which is about 6 times better than the mixed chlorobenzene/octane solvent (the mixed solvent is close to the 8 condition).
