Figure 1

MDSC thermograms of gallic acid powder (a) and nanocomposite matrices with different N : CH ratios: NA (CH : TPP 5) (b), and NB (CH : TPP 3) (c). Table shows the parameters associated with the endothermic event. Reversible heat flow curves show the glass transition temperature of CH (black full line), NA : CH 2 : 1 (blue full line), and NB : CH 2 : 1 (red full line) (d). The arrows indicate the inflection points corresponding to the Tgs.
