Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed in a TA-Q500 (TA Instruments, Hüllhorst, Germany). A temperature range of 54–600 °C, with a heating rate of 10°/min and N2 atmosphere was used. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed in a DSC 7 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA. A temperature range of −65–250 °C and a heating rate of 10°/min and N2 atmosphere was configured. The powder required for these characterizations was obtained by pulverizing filament pieces with a blade grinder in liquid nitrogen.
