12. Although BCPs are composed of two distinct chemical species, these materials often exhibit only a single Tg, if the polymers are amorphous. This situation is true in the measurements of Berry et al. on poly(styrene-b- methylmethacrylate), where the Tg of the two species are only a few degrees apart [C.B. Roth and J.M. Torkelson, Macromolecules 40, 3328 (2007)]. In this Letter we assume that the glass transition of the BCP melt is characterized by a single temperature Tg MAMOBX 0024-9297 10.1021/ma070162g
