This dataset contains experimental data generated during the study of carbonised plant-derived scaffolds evaluated as potential bone graft substitute materials. The research investigated the influence of wood species and pyrolysis temperature on the structural and mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds intended for applications in bone tissue engineering and mandibular reconstruction.
The study included four wood species: fir (Abies alba), poplar (Populus sp.), oak (Quercus sp.) and hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). Samples were analysed in their native state and after pyrolysis performed at 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C and 1000 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere.
The dataset comprises raw and processed measurements describing mass loss, volume reduction, density changes, Young's modulus, flexural strength and deformation behaviour. Mechanical properties were determined using three-point bending tests performed on an MTS Criterion testing system and verified using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Microstructural characteristics of selected samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
The deposited files include experimental measurements, processed datasets used for statistical analyses, source data for figures presented in the associated publication, and documentation enabling data interpretation and reuse. The dataset supports transparency, reproducibility and future comparative studies on plant-derived biomaterials for regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering applications.
