Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a Perkin-Elmer Pyris 1 TGA (Beaconsfield, UK) under a flow of nitrogen. Approximately 5 mg of each sample was heated at a rate of 10 °C·min−1 to 200 °C in order to determine the water content of the solution cast resins. As PVA degrades only above 200 °C, all mass loss in the temperature range measured was taken to be loss of residual water in the sample.
