Arborescent polystyrene‐<i>graft</i>‐poly(<i>tert</i>‐butyl methacrylate) copolymers: Synthesis and enhanced polyelectrolyte effect in solution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A technique is described for the preparation of arborescent graft copolymers containing poly( tert ‐butyl methacrylate) (PtBMA) segments. For this purpose, tert ‐butyl methacrylate is first polymerized with 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐methylpentyllithium in tetrahydrofuran. The graft copolymers are obtained by addition of a solution of a bromomethylated polystyrene substrate to the living PtBMA macroanion solution. Copolymers incorporating either short ( M w ≈ 5000) or long ( M w ≈ 30,000) PtBMA side chains were prepared by grafting onto linear, comb‐branched (G0), G1, and G2 bromomethylated arborescent polystyrenes. Branching functionalities ranging from 9 to 4500 and molecular weights ranging from 8.8 × 10 4 to 6.3 × 10 7 were obtained for the copolymers, while maintaining a low apparent polydispersity index ( M w / M n ≈ 1.14–1.25). Arborescent polystyrene‐ graft ‐poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) copolymers were obtained by hydrolysis of the tert ‐butyl methacrylate units. Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that the arborescent PMAA copolymers are more expanded than their linear PMAA analogues when neutralized with NaOH. This effect is attributed to the higher charge density in the branched arborescent copolymer structures. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 2335–2346, 2008

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.
