Fig. 3: Morphological analyses for the thermally annealed bulk Glcn-b-Sol (n = 1–7) samples.

a SAXS profiles revealed the formation of ordered nanostructures, with the exceptions of Glc6-b-Sol and Glc7-b-Sol. b WAXS profiles of Glcn-b-Sol (n = 1–7) demonstrating amorphous BCOs, with the exception of Glc1-b-Sol. Glc2-b-Sol was annealed at 100 °C for 36 h while all other samples were annealed at 130 °C for 36 h. c qhkl versus (h2 + k2 + l2)1/2 plot based on the SAXS pattern for Glc2-b-Sol validated space group assignment, where h, k, and l are the Miller indices of the corresponding planes. The lattice parameter acub was calculated from the slope of the linear fit.
