Description

Particle size distribution data measured by dynamic light scattering for coarse glass powder and fine (attritor milled) glass powder (Fig02). Contains Microsoft Excel .xlsx files and .txt files with particle size distributions, as well as script and data files for generating plots (.txt). Raw SEM images (.tif) of coarse and fine glass powder are also included. Results from X-ray micro-computed tomography 3D object analysis (Fig03) are supplied in Microsoft Excel .xlsx files. For composites made using films and precipitate, three volumes of interest (VOIs) are shown in separate .xlsx files. Object analysis results are combined into one .xlsx files for each composite condition to generate an average object size distribution, which is exported to a .txt file. μCT slice images and SEM images of composites fabricated from composite films and precipitate are also included in .png format. Script files for generating figures are also included (.txt). Mechanical testing data from tensile tests of composites fabricated from composite films and precipitate (Fig04). Tests were carried out in 37°C water. Contains .txt files with example stress-strain curves, as well as script and data files for generating plots (.txt). Digital photographs (.png files) of samples before and after tensile failure are also included. Plots are generated using gnuplot (www.gnuplot.info),
