Figure 5.

(A–D) Variable-temperature AFM images following the disassembly process of intramolecularly crosslinked polymeric nanoparticles to intermolecularly crosslinked networks occurring above the Tg. The sample was dropcasted from a 10–3 mg/mL solution of polymer P5 (intra) in CHCl3 on freshly cleaved mica and left for 30 min at the desired temperature before taking an image.
