Cocrystallization Model for Synthetic Biodegradable Poly(butylene adipate-<i>c</i><i>o</i><i>-</i>butylene terephthalate)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Synthetic biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-butylene terephthalate), P(BA-co-BT), with 56 mol % butylene adipate, BA, was characterized by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, computer modeling, and polarization microscopy. The NMR study showed the presence of BA and butylene terephthalate, BT. T(1C) NMR measurements proved that some BA and BT units were in crystalline regions. Thermal analysis showed one glass-transition temperature and a single diffuse melting endotherm corresponding to a large melting-point depression of about 100 degrees C compared with poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT. These results suggest that there is only one crystalline phase. An X-ray fiber diagram of a stretched film could be indexed with the same unit cell as that for PBT. Computer modeling showed that the adipate unit fits into the crystal structure of PBT by adopting a TTGTG dihedral angle sequence in the crystalline conformation proposed for the cocrystallization model. The predicted fiber diagram from the proposed model qualitatively agrees with the experimental one. Polarization microscopy revealed that the spherulite growth rate of P(BA-co-BT) was similar to that for poly(butylene adipate), PBA.

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.
