Abstract

This repository contains the experimental data supporting the study “Evaluating the Recyclability and Restabilization of Laboratory Plastic Consumables: Impact of Autoclaving and Mechanical Recycling on Polypropylene.” The dataset includes differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), oxidation induction time (OIT), melt volume rate (MVR), tensile testing, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), rheological, and colorimetric data. These data were generated to evaluate the effects of autoclave decontamination, multiple extrusion cycles, and restabilization on polypropylene laboratory plastics.
