DATA INFORMATION

Data description: This dataset was collected by Karin van der Pal and Mark Maric at Curtin University between 2011-2015, with assistance from Georgina Sauzier and under the supervision of Simon Lewis and Wilhelm van Bronswijk. Automotive clear coats from Australian and international vehicles were analysed using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Chemometric analysis was then carried out to investigate variations in the clear coat chemistry as a result of environmental exposure over 18 months.

This dataset includes 2 Excel files containing pre-processed and ATR corrected spectra, 1 Unscrambler X file containing data analysis.

Chemometric analysis was carried out using Unscrambler X v10.4.

Special software required to open files: Unscrambler X v10.4
