Experimental Characterization

A more thorough explanation about the synthesis of samples and their experimental characterization (Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA)), can be found in the previously published papers (Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3) and the paper linked to this repository. However, a brief overview is provided as follows:

The calibration dataset was obtained from dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) tension tests on film specimens using a TA Instruments RSA-G2 under linear viscoelastic conditions. Temperature sweeps were performed at 3 °C/min, and master curves were constructed in TRIOS using time–temperature superposition (TTS) with the reference temperature set to the loss-modulus-peak glass transition temperature, T_g. The resulting storage and loss modulus master curves span ten decades of shifted frequency for each nanocomposite system.

In order to keep the workflow in this repository functional, a set of synthesized dataset were prepared which are explained in the next section.
