25. Note that the shape will not be reflected significantly by the DLS method (single angle 173 backscattering). Diffusion coefficients of anisotropic particles with the aspect ratios found here (from TEM) do not differ much from spheres of equivalent volume, cf., Tanford, C. The Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules; Wiley: New York, 1961; p 327.
26. Note that, by comparison to crystals of linear polyethylene, for which the crystal thickness is determined not directly by the polymer microstructure but by the crystallization conditions (resulting in typical lamella thicknesses of 10-20 nm, cf., Strobl, G.-R. Physics of polymers: concepts for understanding their structures and behavior, 3 rd ed.; Springer: Berlin, 2007; see also ref 13), the nanocrystals reported here are remarkably thin.
