This dataset documents the development of impact-toughened sustainable composites from recycled polypropylene (r-PP) and pyrolyzed miscanthus biocarbon. It includes material property measurements such as notched Izod impact strength, tensile and flexural moduli, coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE), and heat deflection temperature. The composite achieves a total sustainable content of 75% with a density ≤ 1 g cm⁻³.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between biocarbon weight percentage (e.g., 20 wt%) and changes in tensile modulus, flexural modulus, and coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE).
- Model the reinforcement efficiency factor to assess the effect of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) compatibilizer on filler dispersion and interfacial stress transfer.
- Correlate the addition of ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) with improvements in notched Izod impact strength (e.g., 21% increase) for biocarbon-filled composites.
- Investigate the synergistic effects of biocarbon and MAPP on thermal stability metrics like heat deflection temperature (e.g., 18% increase).
Strengths
- Composite material achieves a total sustainable content of 75%.
- Specific property improvements are quantified, such as a 21% increase in notched Izod impact strength and an 18% increase in heat deflection temperature.
- Material density is reported as ≤ 1 g cm⁻³.
Limitations
- Dataset size, row count, and column structure are unknown.
- The data appears to be a single experimental study, limiting generalizability without replication.
- No information is provided on sample data format, file structure, or measurement replicates.
