a

Tg obtained from DSC, rheology, and BDS and temperatures for 2% weight loss obtained from TGA. Samples were tested as produced.

b

Tg was calculated from the 2nd heating curve, 10 °C/min.

c

Tg was taken as the maximum of the peak in the tan δ curve from the temperature sweeps, performed in cooling ramp, 1 °C/min.

d

Tg is obtained from the broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) measurements, by extrapolating the VFT fit to the temperature at which τmax is equal to 100 s (see Figure S5, Supporting Information).

e

Polymer BPDA-D exhibits two Tg peaks [Tg (I) and Tg (II)] in rheological temperature sweep plots, which is shown and discussed later in the article.
