1H NMR spectra of the samples were recorded on a Varian Unity 400 MHz spectrometer, using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard and employing chloroform-d as the solvent in the room temperature test, and 1, 2-dichlorobenzene-d4 as the solvent in the variable temperature test.
FTIR was performed on a Bruker Vertex 70 FTIR spectrometer equipped with a heating cell. The samples for FTIR analysis were first dissolved in CH2Cl2 to form a homogeneous concentrated solution and then cast onto a KBr window, and after solvent evaporation, a transparent film was obtained and used in situ, and the result was recorded at different temperatures.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed on a Q20 DSC system (TA Instruments) under a nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range of −30 °C to 80 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C min−1. The samples were heated twice to eliminated thermal history, and the transition temperature was taken from the second heating curve.
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of the specimen was performed on a TA Instrument DMA Q800 system in a film tension clamp using “multi-frequency strain mode” with a frequency of 1 Hz. The temperature was increased from −30 °C to 75 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C min−1. Rectangular specimens (7.2 × 7 × 0.2 mm3) were prepared for analyses.
