Abstract

The data presented in this specified data article comprise of various characterization such as: structural, thermal, elemental etc. to understand the novel structure and specific properties of the bio-based plastic as described in the main research article "High-performance poly (benzoxazole/benzimidazole)bio-based plastics with ultra-low dielectric constant from 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid" [1]. The data of 1H NMR spectra of two monomers and their HCl salt formation required for polymerization, FT-IR spectra of polymer formation before and after thermal ring-closing and additionally supported by the thermogravimetric plots where mass loss due to water is observed around 400 °C (thermal ring closing temperature). Solvent plays effective role to change dielectric properties significantly, complete removal of the remaining solvents was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique. Wide-angle XRD dataset was presented here to make an idea about degree of crystallinity of the prepared polymers.
