Research data supporting "Mechanochromic, low-cost, and structurally colored displays using biodegradable hydroxypropyl cellulose"

Supporting data for the article titled "Mechanochromic, low-cost, and structurally colored displays using biodegradable hydroxypropyl cellulose". The article was accepted for publication in 2024 in the journal "Advanced Materials". The processed data is provided within a structured set of sub-folders within "3 Data and plotting code.zip", each correlating to specific figures or set of figures in the article. The raw data and all accompanying control and processing scripts are provided within "Original Data.zip". All design, experimental data sheets and laboratory guides are provided in "1 Design files.zip" and "2 Experiment Sheets.zip". Use Readme.pdf for further information. All work represents a continuation from the article titled "Mechanochromic, Structurally Colored and Edible Hydrogels prepared from Hydroxypropyl Cellulose and Gelatin", accepted for publication in 2021 in the journal "Advanced Materials" (https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202102112). The data is a reconfiguration and the article an improved re-write of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 of the first authors Ph.D thesis, titled "Towards Mechanochromic Devices using Biocompatible Hydroxypropyl Cellulose" and published in 2022 (https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.89622).
