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

The complexation of homo- and copolymers of vinyl ether of monoethanolamine with poly(acrylic acid) has been studied in aqueous solutions. The effect of pH on the complexation has been shown. In acidic media (pH 2.4), the polyelectrolyte complex is enriched by anionic polymer units. In weakly acidic media (pH 4–6), the formation of stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complex is observed. In higher pH media (pH 6–8), the polycomplex contains an excessive amount of cationic polymer. The stability of the polyelectrolyte complexes is affected by the addition of inorganic salts and dimethylformamide.
