Dataset for "Elastocapillary menisci mediate interaction of neighboring structures at the surface of a compliant solid"

This dataset supports the publication 'Elastocapillary menisci mediate interaction of neighboring structures at the surface of a compliant solid' by Lebo Molefe and John M. Kolinski, Physical Review E, (2023). The data are surface profiles of textured surfaces made from the compliant polymer PDMS CY 52-276. Please refer to the publication and its supplemental material for details: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.108.L043001 <strong>Contents</strong> Four folders containing the code and data required to produce the figures in the journal article and supplemental material, plus some additional data. <strong>NOTE: </strong>The directory '/raw_data/' contains all raw data for the surfaces analyzed, and is rather large in size.<br> Consider leaving this directory out when downloading unless the raw data are needed. <strong>Readme</strong> A .txt file describing contents of code and datasets. <strong>Code</strong> Contains Python code to produce Figures 2–5 and 7 in the main text, as well as supplementary Figures 1, 4–6, and 7. <strong>Data</strong> Contains data needed to plot the figures mentioned above, as well as supporting data. The data includes 20 trials of rheometry measurements on PDMS CY 52-276 from an Anton Para MCR 302 rheometer, performed as detailed in the Supplementary Material. <strong>Raw data</strong> Contains all raw data (.ASC files produced by Bruker Contour X's Vision64 software) used for the analysis, as well as a metadata file (process_parameters.csv). <strong>Plots</strong> Contains output of plotting code corresponding to the figures mentioned above.
