Dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was carried out in a DMA1 dynamic analyzer from Mettler-Toledo (Schwerzenbach, Switzerland), working in single cantilever flexural conditions. Injection-molded samples with dimensions of 20 × 6 × 2.7 mm3 were subjected to a dynamic temperature sweep from −160 °C to 100 °C at a constant heating rate of 2 °C/min, a frequency of 1 Hz and a maximum cantilever deflection of 10 µm.
