69. The heat capacity is calculated by dividing the measured heat flow with the heating rate and with the polymer mass. It is noted that, in the nanocomposites, it is only the polymer that undergoes the transition. The contribution of the inorganic material to the heat capacity would be a constant factor that would not influence the step of the glass transition.

80. It is noted that, no attempt has been made to separate any side chain motion from the segmental dynamics. This is because the geometry of the motion of such a bulky side chain is unknown whereas no discontinuity in the temperature or in the wavevector dependence of the segmental motion is observed herein, see ref. 39.
