General Methods Description:
Solid samples were prepared according to standard procedures and loaded onto the RSA-G2 solid analyzer using the appropriate fixture. Measurements were conducted under controlled temperature with equilibration prior to testing. Mechanical deformation or dynamic tests were performed using instrument settings optimized for strain, frequency, and force to remain within the material's linear viscoelastic region. Data were collected using the instrument software and processed with standard baseline corrections.
