Dataset for "Polymer nanotube membranes synthesized via liquid deposition in anodic alumina"
This dataset includes the following raw data for the polymer nanotube membranes in the study - Roughness data, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) data, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) data, Water Flow Enhancement and Permeance Data, and Contact Angle Data. These correspond to the following elements in the associated article "Polymer nanotube membranes synthesized via liquid deposition in anodic alumina":
- Roughness data (Table 1 in the main manuscript);
- FESEM data (Figure 2 and Figure 4 of the manuscript);
- TEM data (Figure 3 of the manuscript);
- Water Flow Enhancement and Permeance Data (Figure 5 and Table 1 of the manuscript);
- Contact Angle Data (Table 1 of the manuscript).
