  1. Set of Flory-Huggins interaction parameters χ (in units of kBT), charges q (in units of e), and relative dielectric permittivities ε r . A dash ‘–’ indicates a zero entry. At (*) the surface (s) charge density (in units of a0−2) is varied between σs=−0.0655e and σs=−0.071e for the AA model (at σs=−0.0664e the surface charge is fully balanced by the charge of the grafted chains), and between σs=−0.0405e and σs=−0.0425e for the PG model (at σs=−0.0415e the surface charge is again fully balanced by the charge of the grafted chains).
