Research data for "Trapping crystallinity in highly crosslinked thermosets by light-based 3D printing from the liquid crystalline phase"

Context

This dataset was created from original work conducted in the framework of a PhD project and compiled in a publication (referenced in the Related Works section). It provides the raw data of results presented and discussed therein.

Technical details

Microsoft Excel file 'Raw Data': 
Tab 1: Raw data obtained for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of bulk cured polymer samples
Tab 2: Raw data obtained for dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of bulk cured polymer samples
Tab 3: Raw data obtained for tensile tests of bulk cured polymer samples
Tab 4: Infrared-Spectroscopy of bulk cured polymer samples
Tab 5: Force-distance curves from atomic force microscopy measurements of bulk cured polymer samples

'LCM.mzdata.xml' file: 
Measurement data of high resolution mass spectroscopy of the monomer LCM, which is reported for the first time in this original work.

NMR zip file: 
'Compound 1', 'Compound 2' and 'LCM' folders: 
NMR data obtained during all synthesis steps of the liquid crystallin monomer LCM. See Supplementary Information Chapter 3.1 for structures. 
'Compound 3' and 'CHTT' folders: 
NMR data obtained during all synthesis steps of trithiol monomer CHTT. See Supplementary Information Chapter 3.2 for structures.

Compound descriptions in the files included herein adhere to the naming in the related publication referenced in the Related Works section, where all compounds are described in detail and drawn as structural formulas. In brief:
ene-compound: LCM: p-[p-(5-hexenyl)benzoyloxy]phenyl p-(5-hexenyl)benzoate 
thiols:
ETTMP: Ethoxylated trimethylolpropan tri-3-mercaptopropionate
TEMPIC: tris[(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)-ethyl]-isocyanurate
TMPMP: trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate)
CHTT: 1,2,4-cyclohexanetriethanethiol

All bulk-cured samples and 3D printed samples consist of stoichiometric equivalents of ene and thiol cured with 0.5 mol% (based on terminal double bonds) of photoinitiator (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (TPO). 0.5 wt% pyrogallol were utilized as inhibitor.
