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

In the present work, anomalous shapes of free radical (FR) accumulation curves Found under PMMA copolymers irradiation in the T ≥ 300°K temperature range have been studied. With the irradiation dose increase the FR concentration in PMMA increases up to a definite maximal value and then starts falling. It is stated that appearance of slopes on the FR accumulation curves is not associated with possible changes of the FR relaxation characteristics. The second order of the FR decay reactions is estimated with the activation energy E = 8.3 kcal/mol. It is suggested that the FR decay processes in the irradiation temperature range T ≥ 300°K are due to the fast decay of macrochains according to the “unzipping” mechanism.
