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 purpose of the investigation was to study the behavior of mechanically activated fly ash filler containing carbon in a polymer matrix of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By means of the methods of optical and electron microscopy the change of physical and chemical properties of fly ash after intensive grinding in planetary mills of centrifugal type was considered. The research showed that mechanically activated filler, in contrast to its non-activated analog, structures the polymer matrix and provides improving the characteristics of the composite material.
