EXPERIMENTAL
Determination of the glass transition temperatures by DSC
- the glass transition temperatures were taken as the midpoint of thermal transitions determined in heating scans at a rate of 20°/min
Determination of mechanical properties by stress-strain measurements
- tensile properties were determined fixing a crosshead speed of 50 mm/min
Evaluation of the water absorption by EIS
- the data were collected at frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 40 kHz at voltage amplitudes of 10 mV
Evaluation of the degradation by EIS
- the data were collected at frequencies ranging from 50 mHz to 100 kHz at voltage amplitudes of 20 mV
