Because all three terms in the expression of mKs are additive (references [30,31]), we neglected any differences in solution dielectric constants and refractive indices (because dielectric constants and refractive indices should only depend on comonomer composition and not comonomer sequence) and instead worked with ratios of the experimental birefringences to learn the effects of comonomer sequence at constant comonomer composition.
