Provenance & quality
The data was collected using an FTIR spectrometer at University of Strathclyde. 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 equilibrated at ambient temperature. The FTIR spectra were collected at various positions in the sample and saved in .csv files.
