The differential of heat capacity signal, d C-p/dT from MDSC, was used to monitor the SINC process. It reveals that the T-g temperature shifts to higher value with the advancement of SINC. When the toluene-immersing time was longer (168 h), the detection of T-g become more difficult, because some smaller peaks emerged at the lower temperatures and these are explained as the movement of small segments in the amorphous region.
