a The chemical structure diagram of TB, GDPA, PEG5, BAMH and TMBA that constitute the Ti-TB0.67BAMHx, Ti-GDPA1BAMHx, Ti-PEG51TMBAx, Ti-PEG50.75TMBAx and Ti-PEG50.5TMBAx series. Titanium, oxygen and carbon atoms are represented as blue, red and black spheres, respectively. b The PDF patterns for Ti-TB0.67BAMH0.22, Ti-GDPA1 and Ti-PEG51TMBA0.22 as the representative samples for each series with highest network connectivity. The peak assignments are shown in Supplementary Fig. 8. c The trend in glass transition temperatures for Ti-TB0.67TMBAx, Ti-TB0.67BAMHx and Ti-GDPA1BAMHx showing consistent increase of Tg with reduced modulators. d DSC up scan curves for the Ti-PEG50.75TMBAx series with scan rate of 10 °C/min. e The trend in glass transition temperatures for Ti-PEG51TMBAx, Ti-PEG50.75TMBAx and Ti-PEG50.5TMBAx series showing the effect of the interplay between noncovalent interactions and coordinative network formation on Tg.
