Effect of the dissolution temperature on the length and number of surviving seeds. a Evolution of the number average length of the PFS₅₃-b-PI₆₃₇ seed crystallites regrown at 23 °C as a function of annealing temperature (control experiment). b Evolution of the apparent mass percentage of surviving seeds as a function of annealing temperature. c Evolution of the length of the surviving seeds as a function of annealing temperature. The horizontal dashed line corresponds to the average length of the trapped seeds (averaged over the whole annealing temperature range). Error bars correspond to the s.e.m. of the length distributions determined by tracing more than 200 stained trapped seeds for each annealing temperature (see Supplementary Methods). d Length distributions of the surviving seeds at each annealing temperature. The surviving seeds were trapped by the addition of PFS₆₀-b-PDMS₆₆₀ prior to cooling, and stained with Karstedt’s catalyst
