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 The effect of temperature on the aggregation/dissociation behavior of interpolymer complexes based on poly(acrylic acid) and various nonionic polymers—poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), poly(ethylene oxide), poly(acrylamide), hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, poly(vinyl methyl ether), poly(vinyl ether of ethyleneglycol), and vinyl ether of ethyleneglycol‐co‐vinyl butyl ether—has been studied in aqueous solutions. It was shown that nonionic polymers could be classified into two groups according to the stability of their polycomplexes with respect to temperature. The first group of nonionic polymers forms interpolymer complexes, which are stable and undergo further aggregation upon increase in temperature. The second group forms polycomplexes, which dissociate at higher temperatures. The nature of forces stabilizing different interpolymer complexes in aqueous solutions is discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 1946–1950, 2004
