Perkin Elmer’s (Shelton, Connecticut, USA) Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) 4000 equipped with a Standard Single-Furnace was used to perform thermodynamic analysis; viewing and analyzing the data was completed with the accompanied Pyris Series software. Using a modified protocol outlined by Molina et al. [7], the scanning rate was decreased to 5 °C/min as such rate is known to provide a more thorough thermal analysis [20, 25]. Nonetheless, each of the samples was accurately weighed, where the mass ranged from 4 to 5 mg per sample, on aluminum pans and sealed with an aluminum cap; calibration was completed through the use of indium and zinc prior to any analysis.
