Raw and processed data for DLS and NMR spectroscopic measurements belonging to the publication "Depolymerization of PLA Catalyzed by Guanidine-Modified Microgels".

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was performed to investigate the hydrodynamic radii of the synthesized microgels. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was performed to analyze the depolymerization of polylactide (PLA) applying guanidine-modified microgels.

The dataset contains the unprocessed DLS data in .asc file format. Furthermore, the dataset contains the NMR spectroscopic raw data, processed NMR spectroscopic data in .jdx file format, and the evaluation of the NMR spectroscopic data in .csv file format.

DLS measurements were performed on an ALV/CGS-3 Compact Goniometer System (ALV-Laser Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, Hessen, Germany) with an ALV/LSE 5004 Tau Digital Correlator.

1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance III HD 400 or a Bruker Avance Neo 400 nuclear resonance spectrometer at 400 MHz and 25 °C.

NMR spectra were referenced to the solvent residual resonance of CDCl3 and phase and baseline corrected prior to saving them in .jdx file format using the software MestReNova (v14.2.3-29241).

For the corresponding text publication, DLS data were visualized using the software OriginPro (2023b).
