These data display evidence of the fracture through the morphologies and the topographical features as well as roughness data of different ratios of R(recycled)-PET/PLA, PET(virgin)/PLA, PET(virgin)/Chitosan and R(recycled)-PET/chitosan. Also, data of the morphologies after degradation under accelerated weathering test and degradation mechanisms are revealed. The data supplement the article “Comparative assessment of miscibility and degradability on PET/PLA and PET/chitosan blends”. Keywords: PET/PLA, PET/Chitosan, SEM micrographs, AFM images, Roughness, Proposed degradation mechanism
