Abstract:

This dataset contains thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data for polyglycerol-block-polycaprolactone copolymer-grafted nanoparticles. Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and hyperbranched poly(glycerol) (HPG) were grafted from silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs). These data were collected using TA Instruments TGA 2950 Thermogravimetric Analyzer heated 20 deg C per minute.
