Achieving High‐Conversion Bulk ATRP with Good Livingness and Well Controlled by Design and Optimization of Polymerization Temperature Profile
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) such as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is often conducted in solution processes and stopped at medium monomer conversions to yield well controlled polymer samples. A great challenge lies in running bulk CRP up to high conversions but still retaining system livingness and molecular weight control. In this work, we demonstrate the achievement of good living and well controlled high‐conversion bulk ATRP by means of design and optimizing polymerization thermal histories. The initiator‐for‐continues‐activator‐regeneration (ICAR) ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is used as a model system. Employing step functions in temperature, MMA conversions are pushed up to 98% and the PMMA samples possess polydispersities <1.3. Chain extension experiments confirm good livingness of synthesized polymers collected at high conversions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
