How data was acquired Data format Experimental factors Experimental features Data source location Data accessibility
Tensile tests, SEM, NMR, FTIR, TGA, DSC and DMA were performed at University of Tennessee. Analyzed The mixture of L-CNC and MA was ultrasonicated, and the printed sample was postcured. 3 Replicates were used in TGA, DSC and DMA. The test sample was randomly cut from the printed sample. Knoxville, United States Data is with this article.
Value of the data
The method for fabrication the printed nanocomposites in this file is innovative and can be valuable to the industrial applications.
The printed material after postcure in this file with increased mechanical and thermal properties
could be potentially applied into package and tissue engineering where the high mechanical properties and thermal stability are needed. The data in this file plays a significant role for the researcher in further studies to describe the relationship between the properties of 3D-SL printed nanocomposites and postcure conditions, and to study the effect of lignin on the properties of 3D-SL printed nanocomposites.
1. Data The 3D-ST printing scheme and printing orientation are shown in Fig. 1. Rough and floppy-like surfaces and blunt layer edges were observed in the 3D-SL printed pure MA before postcure (Fig. 2a), and the smooth surface and pointy layer edges were observed in the postcured 3D-SL printed MA (Fig. 2b). Moreover, the gaps between MA matrix and L-CNC were gradually widened from 0.1% to 1% L-CNC content, and the holes generated by L-CNC pulling out from matrix were observed at high L-CNC contents (Figs. 2e and g). In Fig. 3, 1H NMR (a) and FTIR (b, c) spectra of 3D-ST printed L-CNC/MA nanocomposites before (b) and after (c) postcure were showed. Before postcure, both the tensile strength and tensile modulus increased slightly by the addition of

proton. 50 mg of sample was dissolved in 0.6 mL of acetone-d6. NMR spectra were recorded at 25 °C using the (HC)bsgHSQCAD pulse program. Acetone was used as an internal reference. 1H spectra were acquired with a 25 s relaxation delay, 2 scans, and an acquisition time of 2.556 s. The free induction decay (FIDs) were transformed using Mnova (Mestrelab Research SL., Santiago de Compostela, Spain). HSQC crosssignals were assigned by correlation with literature databases [1–5].
2.5. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis The FTIR analysis of 3D-ST printed L-CNC/MA nanocomposites was performed using a Perkin Elmer FTIR-ATR spectrometer (Spectrum One, Perkin Elmer, USA) at room temperature. Samples were placed on the diamond crystal of an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory. Data were collected from 400 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1 with 20 scans for each sample. The resolution was 4 cm−1.
2.6. Tensile tests The tensile strength, modulus and elongation of 3D-ST printed L-CNC/MA nanocomposites were measured using a universal testing machine (Model 5567, Instron, Inc., Canton, MA) according to ASTM D638 [6]. The specimen is in a dogbone shape with dimension of 63.5 × 9.53 × 3.2 mm (L × W × T; the width of narrow section is 3.18 mm). Before testing, all samples were conditioned at 23 7 2 °C and 50 7 5% relative humidity for 24 h. Each type of formula was replicated 6 times at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) 437 438 The thermal performance of the products was measured using a TA Q2000 (USA) differential scanning 439 calorimeter. The DSC specimens (approximately 2.5 mg) were sliced from the 3D-SL printed nano440 composites. Two temperature cyclic scans were taken under a 50 ml/min flow of nitrogen to prevent 441 oxidation. The first scan was to remove all residual moisture and erase any thermal history from 25 to 442 210 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min, and the specimen was held at 210 °C for 5 min. The samples were 443 then cooled to 25 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min and reheated to 210 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The 444 exothermic transition obtained from the second scan was termed the glass transition temperature (Tg). 445 446 2.9. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) 447 448 Dynamic mechanical tests were performed with a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA Q800, TA 449 Instruments, New Castle, DE). Rectangular samples with dimensions of 55 mm × 13 mm × 2 mm were 450 3D-ST printed by the same compounds as the tensile test samples. Measurements were carried out in 451 the three-point bending mode by applying a constant 1 Hz frequency from −60 °C to 150 °C at a 452 heating rate of 3 °C/min from which the storage modulus (E’) and loss modulus (E’’) were obtained. 453 Three replicates were taken for each formula. 454 455 456 Acknowledgements 457 458 Financial supports from the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (Grant no. 459 2572015AB03 and no. 2572015AB23) and SMART (Soft Materials Research in Tennessee), Tennessee 460 Experimental Station Project #TEN00510 are gratefully acknowledged.
