Provenance & quality
The data was collected at the University of Strathclyde using an FTIR spectrometer with a heated stage. The sample was prepared by melting it between two Kapton sheets, using an aluminium oval mould. Then, the sample was placed in liquid nitrogen and placed at the FTIR stage, where it was equilibrated at a given temperature. The FTIR spectra were collected every 1 minute and saved in .csv files.
