Diffusion of semi‐flexible polyelectrolyte through nanochannels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The diffusion of sodium polystyrene sulfonate through polycarbonate nanochanels was studied in salt‐free dilute aqueous solution. A stronger molecular weight dependence of diffusion was observed compared to free diffusion in dilute solution. Scaling exponentials relating polymer size to diffusivity were between Flory's theory ( D eff ∝ N −0.6 ) and Rouse's model ( D eff ∝ N −1 ), revealing a crossover regime from 3‐D diffusion to 1‐D diffusion. Diffusion was less hindered for the polyelectrolyte ( D eff / D 0 ), than for a rigid sphere, when the polymer/channel size ratio exceeded 0.2. This is attributed to elongated chains with reduced frictional hindrance. Simulation of the confined diffusion based on an elongated cigar model gave D ∝ N −1 ${R_{\rm t}^{2/3}}$ while the experimental results agree with D ∝ N −0.94 ${R_{\rm t}^{ 2/3}}$ . For charged polyelectrolytes, the transition to 1‐D diffusion therefore begins before the polymer radius of gyration exceeds the channel size contrary to model assumptions. We attribute this to the charged nature of the polyelectrolytes causing extended chain conformations. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010

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.
