a
SEC with multi-angle light scattering detection and Zimm analysis
b
Determined by DLS
c
DLS data reported for 10 mg/mL solution using the second cumulant model. Error is the standard deviation of three independent replicates.
d
Model described in Fig. S16: sum of core forming block’s backbone contour length and twice the radius of gyration of its side chains
e
Determined by cryo-TEM
f
Data from Alexandridis et al. Macromolecules. 1994, 27, 9, 2414–2425 measured via fluorescent dye method.59
