Abstract
Abstract Propagation rate coefficients, k p , which have been previously reported by several groups for free‐radical bulk polymerizations of cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), benzyl methacrylate (BzMA), and isobornyl methacrylate (iBoMA) are critically evaluated. All data were determined by the combination of pulsed‐laser polymerization (PLP) and subsequent polymer analysis by size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC). This so‐called PLP‐SEC technique has been recommended as the method of choice for the determination of k p by the IUPAC Working Party on Modeling of Polymerisation Kinetics and Processes . The present data fulfill consistency criteria and the agreement among the data from different laboratories is remarkable. The values for CHMA, GMA, and BzMA are therefore recommended as constituting benchmark data sets for each monomer. The data for iBoMA are also considered reliable, but since SEC calibration was established only by a single group, the data are not considered as a benchmark data set. All k p data for each monomer are best fitted by the following Arrhenius relations: CHMA: $k_{\rm p} = 10^{6.80} \;{\rm L} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} \cdot {\rm s}^{ - 1} \exp \left( {{{ - 23.0\;{\rm kJ} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} } \over {{\rm R} \cdot T}}} \right)$ , GMA: $k_{\rm p} = 10^{6.79} \;{\rm L} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} \cdot {\rm s}^{ - 1} \exp \left( {{{ - 22.9\;{\rm kJ} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} } \over {{\rm R} \cdot T}}} \right)$ , BzMA: $k_{\rm p} = 10^{6.83} \;{\rm L} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} \cdot {\rm s}^{ - 1} \exp \left( {{{ - 22.9\;{\rm kJ} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} } \over {{\rm R} \cdot T}}} \right)$ , iBoMA: $k_{\rm p} = 10^{6.79} \;{\rm L} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} \cdot {\rm s}^{ - 1} \exp \left( {{{ - 23.1\;{\rm kJ} \cdot {\rm mol}^{ - 1} } \over {{\rm R} \cdot T}}} \right)$ . Rather remarkably, for the methacrylates under investigation, the k p values are all very similar. Thus, all data can be fitted well by a single Arrhenius relation resulting in a pre‐exponential factor of 4.24 × 10 6 L · mol −1 · s −1 and an activation energy of 21.9 kJ · mol −1 . All activation parameters refer to bulk polymerizations at ambient pressure and temperatures below 100 °C. Joint confidence intervals are also provided, enabling values and uncertainties for k p to be estimated at any temperature. 95% joint confidence intervals for Arrhenius parameters A and E A for cyclohexyl (CHMA), glycidyl (GMA), benzyl (BzMA), and isobornyl (iBoMA) methacrylate; for details see text. magnified image 95% joint confidence intervals for Arrhenius parameters A and E A for cyclohexyl (CHMA), glycidyl (GMA), benzyl (BzMA), and isobornyl (iBoMA) methacrylate; for details see text.

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 it
