30. An average center-to-center distance of the features in Figure 2 (as determined by two-dimensional FFT) of 31 nm was in excellent agreement with the value by SAXS analysis of 30 nm.
31. The holes generated by the removal of the PI core in Figure 3 appear smaller than the holes shown in Figure S5 (Supporting Information). In Figure 3, the PLA has been removed whereas in Figure S5 (Supporting Information) the PLA has not been (significantly) removed. Removal of the PLA phase may have enabled some reconstruction of the PS phase, but at this stage we cannot be certain.
