Scandium-Catalyzed Terpolymerization Data for Self-Healing Elastomers

Experimental and computational data from a study on the sequence-regulated terpolymerization of ethylene with anisylpropylene monomers. The dataset, 989.3 KB in size, was authored by Wenlong Huang and last updated on May 12, 2026. It combines experimental results with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate polymerization mechanisms.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict polymer sequence structures based on steric and electronic effects.
• Validating computational chemistry models for catalytic polymerization mechanisms.
• Correlating monomer electronic properties with resulting terpolymer block formation.
• Designing new self-healing elastomers by optimizing monomer pair selectivity.

Strengths

• Combines experimental synthesis data with DFT calculations, providing a dual perspective.
• Focuses on a specific, challenging problem in polyolefin copolymerization for self-healing materials.
• Dataset is openly shared under a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 989.3 KB size indicates a limited scope, likely containing summary or processed data rather than raw experimental logs.
