Incorporating dynamic bonds into high density polyethylene for upcycled plastic waste

This dataset consists of characterization of telechelic functional polyethylene oligomers, precursors, and resultant step-growth polyethylene with urethane-linkages between segments of different lengths. Polymer characterization data includes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, room-temperature and high-temperature size exclusion chromatography data and associated calibration curves, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra, transmission FTIR spectra with melting. Several physical measurements were also conducted on the materials in this study and are included in this data asset: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, rheological measurements, micro ballistic impact measurements, small angle and wide angle x-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS, respectively),
