polymer | Mw (g/mol) | Mn (g/mol) | PDI | DSC-Tg (°C) | rheology-Tg (°C) | BDS-Tgd (°C) | TGA T (2% weight loss) (°C) | density (g/cm3) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BPADA-D | 29k | 18k | 1.6 | 24 | 36 | 20 | 360 | 1.05 |
ODPA-D | 32k | 16k | 2.0 | 13 | 25 | 11 | 380 | 1.05 |

Tg obtained from DSC, rheology, and BDS and temperatures for 2% weight loss obtained from TGA. Samples were tested as produced.
Tg was calculated from the 2nd heating curve, 10 °C/min.
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.
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).
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.
