a TGA curves, b typical tensile stress-strain curves and c the frequency-sweep dynamic mechanical performance curves with a strain of 0.5% comparing t = 0 and t = 24 h. d Young’s modulus and e Γ on PET substrates comparing t = 0 and t = 24 h at different monomer fraction (f). f Γ on PET substrates comparing t = 0 and t = 24 h at different crosslinker content (X). The RE and RΓ are defined as the ratio in Young’s modulus and adhesion energy of t = 24 h to t = 0. Values represent the mean and standard deviation, where n = 3.
