Title: Will it float? Rising and settling velocities of common macroplastic foils

Description:
Experimental rising and settling velocities in a stable fresh water column
Data generated in the research of Kuizenga et.al. (2021)

Keywords:
Rising velocities
Settling velocities
Macroplastic
Microplastic
Experimental

This dataset contains the following file:
Kuizenga_2021_Raw_Data.csv

Explanation of variables:
Rise/settle: R = rising particle, S = settling particle
Shape: R = rectangular, T = triangle
Temperature is the water temperature
Distance is the measured distance where terminal velocity is assumed

Methods, materials and software:
In total, 150 measurements are done for 14 different samples. 
Three different polymer types are tested, which were manually cut in different sizes. 
Further information can be found in the publication of Kuizenga et.al. (2021)
