DOWNLOAD RAW PARTICLE SIZE DATA
The following files contain the raw data as collected from the Coulter LS Particle Size Analyzer, and can be imported into most data analysis programs (I used KaleidaGraph). Each file contains an "x"
column which corresponds to the particle diameter in microns, and a series of columns representing either percent volume, percent surface area, or percent number of particles. The percent volume data represents the fraction of the volume of the sample at each diameter. The percent surface area and percent number data are in the corresponding format. Clicking on any of the links below will bring up a table containing the raw data. By clicking and holding the mouse button (on Macs) or by right clicking (on other machines), the data can be downloaded directly to a file. Because the data in these files is in raw
"as-received" format, the headers may appear jumbled.
Effects of Pressing (no sonication involved)
These experiments were performed on 64% (unpressed), 65%, 70%...95% TMD HMX

Effects of Sonication
These experiments were performed on unpressed HMX after 0, 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes of ultrasound treatment.

Combined Effects of Pressing and Sonication
These experiments were performed on ~64% (unpressed), 65%, 70%...95% TMD HMX after one minute of ultrasound treatment
