Any other information on results incl. tables

No change of physical state (including a freezing point) was observed from room temperature to -90°C using the DSC method (see the DSC thermogram in Appendix).

No change of physical state was observed after a microscope observation at -120°C.

A solidification of the test item was observed after direct contact with liquid nitrogen (-196°C).
