24. c of aqueous dispersions of 2 and 3 (3%, wt/v) was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a TC 11 instrument from Mettler (Switzerland) at a heating rate of 2 °C/min. While 2 showed a single transition at 48 °C, the DSC trace of 3 was complex, showing multiple transitions above 25 °C, the highest being at 42 °C.
