Data on the Properties of a Superhydrophobic Siloxane Reinforced by Graphene Nanoplatelets

The complete datasets are presents on the properties of a superhydrophobic siloxane reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets under different processing conditions described in He et al. (2023) Materials & Design, which shows part or selected data. These were collected via an array of instruments used by different characterization techniques, including the unconfined compression testing, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and nanoindentation. While simple processing such as conversion of the sensors’ analogue to digital readings to the physical properties was performed to obtain the stress-strain data, statistical averaging of multiple curves used to yield the nanoindentation results. These data therefore provide the stress-strain-strength behavior, microstructure such as pore size distribution and porosity, and the indentation load-depth as well as hardness and elastic modulus of the graphene nanoplatelet-reinforced superhydrophobic siloxanes. The examined different processing conditions consisted of varying temperature by heating, ultrasonication, and viscosity. These data can be used as reference and baseline for other superhydrophobic materials as well as porous media.

本数据集全面呈现了不同加工条件下，由石墨烯纳米片增强的超疏水硅氧烷的性质，这些加工条件在He等人（2023年）发表于《材料与设计》杂志的论文中有所描述，论文中展示了部分或精选数据。这些数据通过多种表征技术的仪器阵列收集，包括无约束压缩测试、汞渗透孔隙率测定和纳米压痕测试。在将传感器模拟信号转换为数字读数以及物理性质的过程中，执行了简单的加工操作，以获得应力-应变数据；此外，通过统计平均多个曲线来获得纳米压痕结果。因此，这些数据提供了应力-应变-强度行为、微观结构如孔径分布和孔隙率，以及石墨烯纳米片增强的超疏水硅氧烷的压痕载荷-深度以及硬度和弹性模量。所考察的不同加工条件包括通过加热、超声处理和改变粘度来调节温度。这些数据可作为其他超疏水材料和多孔介质的参考和基准。
