a The DSC curve of BPE. The blue curve represents the heat absorption and release data of the sample in the first cycle, while the orange curve corresponds to the second cycle. b Polarising microscope of BPE at 50 °C. c, d Polarising microscope of BPE at 125 °C on different scales. e XRD spectrum of BPE during the heating and cooling process (the warm colour represents high temperature while the cold ones are low temperature). f The schematic diagram of aligning monomers. g, h SEM image of the sectional view of the sample. i, j EDS image of the sectional view. k, l Polarising microscope of PBPE-C3-AA at different scale. m, n Polarising microscope of PBPE-C3-AA-2kV at different scale.
