A glance into the boundary lubrication mechanism of PVA hydrogel after the reduction of interstitial fluid pressurization

The dataset contains the raw data used for the publication titled "A Glance into the Boundary Lubrication Mechanism of PVA Hydrogel after the Reduction of Interstitial Fluid Pressurization." The dataset is divided into frictional and viscoelastic data acquired using an MCR 302 rheometer (Anton Paar, Graz, Austria) and detailed images obtained with a laser scanning microscope (VK-X260K, Keyence, Japan). A detailed description of the experimental methods and the PVA material used is provided in the publication.
