The deposited data contain results obtained from measurements: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), rheological and tensile tests. The attached data are provided in the form of text and Excel files as well as source files typical for the respective software used.
Each file is named using a consistent structure that reflects the measurement type and the specific sample or experimental condition. For example, files such as DMA_data_1 and DMA_data_2 refer to data collected from the same type of experiment (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis in this case), but for different samples or experimental conditions. The numerical suffix distinguishes between these variations.
The attached data were obtained using the following instruments: A Universal Testing Machine (Instron 5582, High Wycombe, UK) operating at a strain rate of 5%/min in accordance with ISO 527-2; a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA Q800, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) for assessing the thermomechanical properties of rectangular samples; and a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC Q20, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA), calibrated with indium, to study melting and non-isothermal crystallization behavior. Morphological analysis of cryogenically fractured surfaces was conducted using a Scanning Electron Microscope (JEOL JSM-5500 LV, Tokyo, Japan). Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was carried out using a Rigaku Thermo plus TG 8120 instrument, from room temperature to 600 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min under a nitrogen atmosphere. To monitor shear-induced crystallization, a Linkam CSS450 optical shearing system (Waterfield, UK) equipped with a polarized light microscope (Nikon Eclipse 80i, Buckinghamshire, UK) was utilized. The average molecular weight (Mw) was determined via Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) using an Agilent system comprising a G1379A degasser, 1100 Series pump, two PLGel 5 μm MIXED-C columns, and dual laser detectors: a Wyatt Optilab Rex differential refractometer and a Dawn Eos light scattering detector (Wyatt Technology Corporation, Santa Barbara, CA, USA). Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ss-NMR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE III WB 400 MHz spectrometer.
