This is the full dataset for the manuscript "Strategies to control humidity sensitivity of azobenzene isomerisation kinetics in polymer thin films", submitted to the journal "Communications Materials". All the results presented in the manuscript is based on the data included in this dataset. All the raw data and analysed data is included, excluding final figures in the manuscript, which were composed from the data within. The data includes multiple experiments with different methods and materials. The data is sorted from the top down all the way down to single experiments. The dataset includes "README.txt" files that provide additional information relevant at each level, for example for raw data they provide information on the experimental settings and for analysed data the provide analysis methods used.
