10. The film was kept in toluene for about 3 h at the designated temperature before measuring the Ds because it takes about 3 h to reach complete swelling equilibrium for the film, based on our observations.

13. The spherical domain of toluene in the film was not observed in the SEM and POM images upon first heating up to 80 °C, and the film showed no color. The spherical domain and the color of the film abruptly appeared, at 80 °C at the same time, and the size of the spherical domain stayed, almost the same upon further heating and subsequent cooling. Therefore, the spherical domain is necessary for the coloration; however, its size does not play any role in the observed change in color of the HPC film.
