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

The thermodynamics of swelling of copolymers of acrylic acid β-vinyloxyethylamide with acrylamide and N-vinylpyrrolidone of various compositions in water and ethanol is investigated. It is established that the swelling of the copolymers in water is characterized by high negative enthalpy values and that the swelling in ethanol is an endothermic process. It is found experimentally that the hydrogels obtained experience contraction at elevated temperatures.
