                  Comparing the results at 25 °C and 60 °C, we can see that the maximum test force is the same, but the maximum                Result
                  displacement value is higher at 60 °C. Next, comparing the characteristic values at 60 °C and 90 °C, we can see that the
                  maximum test force decreases at 90 °C, but the maximum displacement is the same. From the above, it can be seen that
