Abstract:

A solution of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) was added to aqueous Cerato ulmin to study how a hydrophobin entraps a polymer solution. This dataset reports the Raman intensity, exciton bandwidth, energy, wavelength, absorbance for P3HT/TCB solutions. Solutions were observed the day they were created (day 0) and more than 30 days post creation (>30 days). Data were collected by Raman spectrometry and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction.
