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

Copolymer emulsion lattices based on styrene (St) and butyl acrylate (BuA) was synthesized with composition ratio (5/ 5) using potassium persulfate/ sodium metabisulfite (KPS/ NaMBS) as redox initiation in the presence of a coemulsifier dodecyl benzene sodium sulfonate/ polyoxyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DBSS/ POE). The effect of concentration of copolymer lattices on the physico-mechanical properties of mortar was investigated. The results showed that, as concentration of copolymer lattices increased, W/C ratio, setting time as well as water absorption decrease, while compressive strength increases.
