Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract A novel hydrophobic monomer was synthesized from the acetoacetic ester and dodecylamine by condensation reaction in mild conditions. The modification by the dodecyl groups monomer was involved in the Michael addition reaction with acrylic (or methacrylic) acid followed by radical polymerization. Both linear and crosslinked novel betaine‐type polyampholytes bearing hydrophobic “tail” and hydrophilic “head” were obtained. The linear polymer was characterized by viscometry, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Swelling–shrinking behavior of linear and crosslinked samples was studied in water–DMF and water–DMSO mixtures. The applicability of hydrophobically modified polybetaines as pour point depressants (fluidity improvers) was also demonstrated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 1042–1048, 2004
