Abstract
The effect of surfactant and polymeric additives on the viscosity behavior and stability of aqueous colloidal dispersions of silica particles under extreme conditions (low pH, high ionic strength) has been investigated. The surfactant and polymer used as dispersing agent were C12TAB, a cationic surfactant, and DarvanC, a commercially available polymer. It was found that the surfactant stabilized dispersions show a lower viscosity and a more uniform resistance to flow than the samples stabilized through electrostatic repulsion or polymer induced forces in the system. Stability analysis through turbidity measurements indicated that the state of the dispersion changes from an unstable regime to a stable regime above a critical concentration of C12TAB in the system. Viscosity measurements as a function of temperature indicates that C12TAB dispersing agent can further improve the flowability of the dispersion at higher temperatures.

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 it
