Fig. 4. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments conducted at a cooling/heating rate of 2 °C min–1 for (a) PBeMA37 macro-CTA in the solid state, (b) a 20% w/w solution of PBeMA37 in mineral oil and (c) a 20% w/w dispersion of 32 nm PBeMA37–PBzMA100 spheres in mineral oil. Two thermal cycles beginning at the maximum temperature were performed and are presented on the plot. Blue and red data represent cooling and heating ramps, respectively. * Indicates the behenyl side-chain crystallization within individual (isolated) nanoparticles. ** Indicates the secondary crystallization between PBeMA37–PBzMA100 nanoparticles.
