Experimental values of Tara Gum, Glycerol and Orange Peel biofilms

Description:
This dataset supports the research article titled “Mechanical Characteristics of Tara Gum/Orange Peel films influenced by the synergical effect on the rheological properties of the film forming solutions”.

Research hypothesis:
The hypothesis of this study is that the synergistic effects in the rheological behavior of mixtures (tara gum, glycerol and orange peel extract) influence the mechanical performance of the resulting biodegradable films.

What the data shows:
The dataset contains rheological parameters of film-forming solutions, mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break and Young’s Modulus), water vapor permeability, solubility values, and FTIR spectra of the films. The results reveal significant correlations between the viscoelastic behavior of the solutions and the mechanical strength of the films.

Notable findings:
The results demonstrated a strong correlation (R² = 0.840) between the storage modulus (G′) and Young’s modulus of the films, indicating that solutions with greater internal cohesion led to stiffer, more structurally consistent films. The synergy between tara gum (TG) and orange peel powder (OP) was key to optimizing the polymeric matrix: TG contributed to stiffness and mechanical reinforcement, while OP enhanced structural cohesion and stability. Glycerol (GL) acted as a plasticizer, increasing flexibility but reducing stiffness.

How the data can be interpreted:
The dataset includes the raw data obtained from the experimental work. Specific details about the experimental conditions—such as formulation ratios, temperatures, drying methods, and equipment—are fully described in the associated research article. This data can be used for further analysis, replication studies, or for comparison in research focused on biopolymer films and their structure–property relationships.
This dataset was generated in 2024 at Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa - Perú, and is openly shared to promote transparency and reproducibility in sustainable materials research.

数据集说明：
本数据集支撑题为《成膜溶液流变性能的协同效应对塔拉胶/橙皮薄膜力学特性的影响》的研究论文。

研究假设：
本研究的假设为：塔拉胶、甘油与橙皮提取物混合物的流变行为所展现出的协同效应，会对最终制备的可生物降解薄膜（biodegradable films）的力学性能产生影响。

数据内容与呈现：
本数据集包含成膜溶液的流变参数、薄膜的力学性能（拉伸强度（tensile strength）、断裂伸长率（elongation at break）与杨氏模量（Young’s Modulus））、水蒸气透过率（water vapor permeability）、溶解度数值，以及薄膜的傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR spectra）。研究结果揭示了溶液的黏弹性行为与薄膜力学强度之间存在显著相关性。

重要发现：
研究结果表明，储能模量（storage modulus，G′）与薄膜杨氏模量之间存在极强的相关性（决定系数R²=0.840），这意味着内部内聚度更高的成膜溶液可制备出刚度更强、结构一致性更优的薄膜。塔拉胶（tara gum, TG）与橙皮粉（orange peel powder, OP）之间的协同作用是优化聚合物基体（polymeric matrix）的关键：塔拉胶可提升薄膜刚度与力学强化效果，而橙皮粉则能增强结构内聚度与稳定性。甘油（glycerol, GL）作为增塑剂（plasticizer），可提升薄膜柔韧性但会降低其刚度。

数据集的解读与应用：
本数据集包含实验过程中获取的原始数据。实验条件的具体细节——如配方比例、实验温度、干燥方法与所用设备——均在相关研究论文中进行了完整阐述。该数据集可用于进一步分析、重复验证研究，或用于聚焦于生物聚合物薄膜及其结构-性能关系的研究中的对比分析。

本数据集于2024年在秘鲁阿雷基帕圣奥古斯汀国立大学（Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa - Perú）生成，现已公开共享，以推动可持续材料研究领域的透明度与可重复性。
