<p>SR and SH (Raw data).</p>

Mohammed Mousa published a dataset on figshare in 2026 containing experimental results on the reinforcement of maxillofacial silicone elastomers. The data includes measurements of surface roughness and hardness for 80 specimens, comparing non-weathered samples with those exposed to two years of natural weathering and different nanofiller concentrations. Analysis was performed using profilometry, SEM, Shore-A durometer, and FTIR spectroscopy.

Use Cases

• Compare the effect of silica versus titanium dioxide nanofillers on polymer hardness based on the described experimental groups.
• Analyze the impact of long-term natural weathering on material surface properties based on the two-year exposure period.
• Model the relationship between nanofiller concentration (3% vs. 10%) and resulting material performance metrics.
• Validate spectroscopic findings on chemical interactions between the silicone matrix and nanofillers using the FTIR data.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from 80 accepted specimens, providing a basis for statistical comparison.
• Experimental design is clearly described, with five distinct material subgroups and a two-year weathering test.
• Multiple measurement techniques were used (profilometer, SEM, durometer, FTIR), suggesting multi-faceted validation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical methods.
• The dataset is very small (11.4 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary of results rather than raw instrument readings.
