65. tBA was used here as a precursor of AA units because the latter cannot be polymerized directly by ATRP.

67. The DP and the number-average molecular weight were calculated from the initial monomer to initiator ratio and from the conversion. The PDI was determined by SEC using conventional calibration with PS standards. Further details about the characteristics of the first block are given in the Supporting Information.

69. It must be pointed out that this power law decrease at low q, indicating the presence of large aggregates, is also observed at 30% of ionization. The origin of these large aggregates remains unclear at this moment, but according to light scattering experiments (data not shown), they represent only a small fraction of the total sample.
70. It must be highlighted here that the contrast of the objects slightly changes upon variation of the ionization degree and contributes to some extent to the variation of the scattered intensity. However, the contrast variation alone is far too small to explain the observed changes because protonated and ionized AA units have a similar contrast. The molecular weight thus undoubtedly varies upon pH change.
