  1. aDPs BCO glucose and isoprene units (DPGlc and DPisoprene, respectively).
  2. bThe saccharide volume fraction (fsugar) was calculated based on densities of 1.36, 0.90, and 0.95 g cm−3 for the saccharide, solanesol, and farnesol, and tocopherol blocks, respectively.
  3. cThe morphology and d were determined from bulk-sample SAXS data.
