65. For example, the parameter values of nv=0.1 and n AB =0.1 used in Fig. 1 of Ref. correspond to AS = BS =-11.34 and AB N=2268 (with N=100 as used there and =0.3), respectively, in our formalism; these numbers are inversely proportional to at constant N.
66. In the neutral solvent, the folding of B -block into the brush is due to the chain conformational entropy instead of solvent selectivity.
