The dataset presented herewith is that of a research paper entitled "Facile fabrication of a starch-based wood adhesive showcasing water resistance, flame retardancy, and antibacterial properties via a dual crosslinking strategy" by Chen et al. in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules for publication (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.137180).

This paper presents a one-pot process utilising corn starch, sodium hypochlorite, itaconic acid and borax to synthesise a starch-based adhesive with dual crosslinking. The samples, as reflected in the dataset, were prepared with the following compositions: Ost (oxidised starch), Ost/Ita (oxidised starch crosslinked with taconic acid), and Ost/Ita/Borax (oxidised starch crosslinked with both taconic acid and borax).
