36. The CdS content of PS/PMMA-CdS is ∼5 wt%, so that the inorganic content of these blends is in fact extremely low.

42. We note that the larger PMMA domains in the 10% PS/PMMA-CdS blend do not protrude significantly above the PS phase and so are not detected in the AFM images in Figures 3 and 4. TEM of film sections of the 10% and 20% PS/PMMA - CdS blends after 24 h annealing (Supporting Information) confirms that the internal film morphologies, along with the surface features tracked by AFM, are stable to annealing.
