Data confidence 85 high

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

A comprehensive study of parameters of the track membranes based on the polyethylene terephthalate has been carried out at different formation stages. Using the X-ray diffraction analysis, the changes in the structure of the polymer after its irradiation, UV-sensitization and etching are shown. By means of scanning electron microscopy, a sequential analysis of the variation of the parameters of the track membrane during the etching has been carried out, based on which the evolutions of surface morphology and pore sizes are shown.
