Freeze Cast MXene Aerogel 3D Tomography Under Compressive Strain

X-ray computed micro-tomography data of a freeze cast lamellar MXene (2D Ti3C2Tx) aerogel sample. The collection comprises 11 3D volume data sets, imaging the same sample prior to compression and following compressive strain applied in 5% increments. The data was obtained at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and accompanies a publication by Shelley D. Rawson from the University of Manchester.

Use Cases

• Analyze 3D pore structure evolution based on the series of compressive strain states.
• Train machine learning models for microstructure-property relationships based on the 3D volume data.
• Validate computational simulations of material deformation using the experimental 3D tomography data.
• Study the mechanics of lamellar MXene aerogels based on the sequential strain imaging.

Strengths

• 11 distinct 3D volume data sets provide a controlled sequence of material states.
• Data is explicitly linked to a peer-reviewed publication, providing scientific context.
• Imaging was performed at a major facility (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), suggesting high-quality acquisition.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some computational tasks.
• Data is split across three separate Zenodo uploads, requiring assembly for the complete collection.
