22. Second- and third-order reflections are missing probably as a result of the effect of the fluorinated segments upon the electron density distribution.
23. It seems that segregation of the fluorinated segments is inhibited for steric reasons, because in this case the perfluorinated segments can improve the space filling in the aliphatic sublayers by incorporation between the spacer units that connect the Si units with the bent cores.
