R. D. Miller and A. Knoesen, We would like to thank W. Volksen, V. Y. Lee, P. Pretre, L. M, Wu,
and D, Yankelevich for helpful discussions. The work on azo-polyurethanes was done at Osaka
University, Handai, with D. Yasumatsu and S. Kawata. We thank C. Hawker at IBM Aimaden
for the PMMA-DR1 material, and the pressure experiments were done with G. Kleideiter.
Zouheir Sekkat acknowledges research support from the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science under the Research for the Future Program and thanks the Office of Naval Research for
research support during his stay at UC Davis, and the Max-Planck Society for financial support
during his stay at the Max-Planck Institut fur Polymerforschung in Mainz. Financial support also
came from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Center on Polymer Interfaces and
Macromolecular Assemblies (CPIMA).
