2 General procedure of preparation of α-alkynyl-pmma. A 50 ml Schlenk flask was charged with PMDETA (87 mg, mmol), methyl methacrylate (5.05 g, 50.4 mmol) and 5 ml of toluene. Freeze-pump-thaw operation was performed twice and CuCl (49 mg, mmol) was added under an Ar atmosphere. After an additional freeze-pump-thaw cycle, the Schlenk flask was kept at 70 C for several minutes and stirred to allow the CuCl to dissolve. Propargyl α-bromoisobutyrate (103 mg, mmol) was then added to initiate the polymerization and the solution was kept at 70 C. The reaction was stopped at desired time by immersing in liquid nitrogen bath and opening to air. 10 ml of DCM was added and the suspension was filtered through an activated basic alumina plug. The filtrate was precipitated into 1 L of hexane twice. The white solid was dried under high-vacuum for 24 hours. General procedure of preparation of α-alkynyl-ps. A 50 ml Schlenk flask was charged with PMDETA (61.8 mg, mmol), CuBr 2 /PMDETA (28.3 mg, mmol) and 5 ml of styrene (5.2 g, 50 mmol). Freeze-pump-thaw was performed twice and CuBr (51 mg, mmol) was added under Ar atmosphere. After an additional freeze-pump-thaw cycle, the Schlenk flask was kept at 90 C for several minutes and stirred to allow all CuBr to dissolve. Propargyl α-bromoisobutyrate (73.5 mg, mmol) was then added to initiate the polymerization and the solution was kept at 90 C. The reaction was stopped at desired time by immersing in liquid nitrogen bath and opening to air. 10 ml of DCM was added and the suspension was filtered through an activated basic alumina plug. The filtrate was precipitated into 1 L of methanol twice. The white solid was dried under high-vacuum for 24 hours. S2

Monomer volume were S = nm 3 ; MMA = nm 3 ; DMS = nm 3 ; 0 = 0.1 nm 3. Four parameters including the statistical segment length of both polymers (b X, b DMS ), the amplitude K and the Flory-Huggins parameter χ were optimized to fit the SAXS pattern at each temperature.
