Abstract:
The following data describe the thermal properties of two different typologies of Hyperbranched Polymers (HBPs): the first one is a polyester (HBPG - Hyperbranched Polymer Glassy) with a glass transition temperature (Tg) higher than room temperature (∼90 °C) whereas the second one is a polyamide ester (HBPR - Hyperbranched Polymer Rubbery) characterized by Tg of about 20 °C. The nanocomposites manufactured using these HBPs as filler were characterized using Optical Microscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The raw data for the evaluation of fracture toughness properties are reported for the listed materials. This article provides data related to "The effect of Glassy and Rubbery Hyperbranched Polymers as Modifiers in Epoxy Aeronautical Systems" (Zotti et al.).

Analysis of Thermal Expansion via Dilatometry
Thermal expansion is extremely important when considering which materials will be used in systems that experience fluctuations in temperature. A high or low thermal expansion in a material may or may not be desirable, depending on the application. For instance, in a common liquid thermometer, a material with a high thermal expansion would be...
Thermal Diffusivity and the Laser Flash Method
The laser flash method (LFA) is a technique used to measure thermal diffusivity, a material specific property. Thermal diffusivity (α) is the ratio of how much heat is conducted relative to how much heat is stored in a material. It is related to thermal conductivity (), how much heat is transferred through a material due to a temperature...
