The QTZ file can be opened using the open-source software pyQTM or myVNA. The folder also contains the mean and standard deviation of the experiments in Section 4.3, 'Drifts of Δf/n and ΔG/n', stored in the Excel file 'T_QCM_mean_deviation_60min'. 5. Data assignment of data in folder "data_polymerisation" This folder contains the raw data of three semi-batch polymerisations: 30/07/2026, 31/07/2026 and 11/08/2026.It also provides an analysis file (Origin project file) for presenting all the data (including data_influence) and the viscoelastic analysis.
