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. The paper has been submitted to the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules for publication.

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. Samples prepared for comparison include: The samples 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).

For details of the experimental procedure, please refer to the published version of the paper.


The dataset comprises a series of *.opju files (which can be open using Origin software), which are plots created using Origin software and included in the publication. The file names correspond to the figure numbers in the publication, and detailed information regarding the samples tested can be found in the respective figure captions.
In addition, the dataset contains NMR results, which are not included in the manuscript.
