R is the geometric mean particle radius with multiplicative standard deviation σ*. The proportion of PU distributed as supramolecular structures is quantified by ϕ2/ϕtot. Rg gives the radius of gyration of these structures, and ν is a structural parameter that indicates solubilization of these polymer-like structures.
