Effect of ageing and annealing on the mechanical behaviour and biodegradability of a poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) and poly(ethylene‐<i>co</i>‐methyl‐acrylate‐<i>co</i>‐glycidyl‐methacrylate)blend
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) ( PHB ) undergoes an ageing process that contributes to its remarkable fragility. Blending it with an elastomer is a possibility to increase toughness. In this work, the mechanical properties of a 70/30 wt% blend of PHB and poly(ethylene‐ co ‐methyl‐acrylate‐ co ‐glycidyl‐methacrylate) were studied over time. The phenomenon of ageing affected the blend, which lost its ductility and became fragile days after its processing. Differential scanning calorimetry and small angle X‐ray scattering analyses showed that this drop in mechanical properties was due to changes in the crystalline structure of the matrix. Annealing reduced fragility, increased toughness and prevented a re‐ageing of the blend. Biodegradation in soil was also more intense for annealed samples. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
