Crystallisation-driven self-assembly of poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) above the LCST
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The solution behaviour in water of a polyoxazoline-type block copolymer, namely poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline), denoted as P(iPrOx-b-MeOx), above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the PiPrOx block was exploited to induce a temporary or permanent self-assembly. Spherical micelles were first obtained and could be disassembled in a reversible manner when kept for a short period of time (i.e. t < 90 min) above the LCST, and cooled down to room temperature. In contrast, annealing the copolymer solution for more than 90 min at 65 °C induced the crystallisation of the PiPrOx block, as evidenced by wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) experiments. This crystallisation-driven self-assembly phenomenon resulted in different morphologies, including spherical and distorted crystallised micelles and micron-size fibers, their relative proportion varies with the annealing time. Formation of micron-size range fiber-like structures might be explained by the re-organization of parent crystallised micelles. The crystal structure, as determined by WAXS, appeared to be identical to that of the PiPrOx homopolymer.

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.
