Dataset description

This is all the corresponding data for the paper below, which is about synthesising porous calcite crystals via an organic templating and removal method for the purpose of creating highly reflective bright white particles. This data includes images from imaging techiqnues such as optical microscopy, SEM, FIBSEM, and TEM, reflectance measurements, porosity analysis, analysis of the crystals using TGA and NMR.
