Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Poly(styrene)- block -poly(2-vinylpyridine)- block -poly(ethylene oxide) (PS- b -P2VP- b -PEO) ABC triblock copolymers commonly form core−shell−corona (CSC) micelles in water. These micelles consist of a PS spherical core, a P2VP shell, and a PEO corona. However, when the micelles are formed in the presence of a solvent selective for the PS block (benzene), the micellar morphology exhibits a sphere-to-rod transition, as result of the increased volume fraction of the core-forming blocks. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirm that a PS rod-like core is surrounded by a P2VP shell and an external PEO corona. Nevertheless, the rod-like micelles coexist with spherical micelles that should be thermodynamically less stable, because of a higher stretching of the PS chains in the core. The P2VP chains are also in a stretched conformation, whatever the pH. The P2VP shell has been used as nanoreactor for the production of gold nanoparticles.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
