Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Blends of poly(ethylene oxide) with organosolv lignin (Alcell) were prepared by thermal blending. Excellent fiber spinning was achieved over the entire blend ratio. The good thermal properties of the Alcell lignin arise from its unique chemical structure. HMQC 2D NMR analysis revealed the presence of alkoxyl chains at the Cα and Cγ positions of the Alcell lignin side chain structure acting as internal plasticizers and enhancing the thermal mobility of the lignin. The addition of a small amount of Alcell lignin to PEO resulted in an increase of the PEO crystalline domain size. However, both PEO crystallinity and crystalline domain size decreased with lignin incorporation beyond 25 wt %. A negative polymer−polymer interaction energy density “ B ” was calculated on the basis of the melting point depression of PEO and a negative deviation of T g from the weighted average values observed. Good prediction of the T g -composition behavior was obtained indicating the presence of favorable interactions between blend components. FT-IR analysis revealed the formation of a strong hydrogen-bonding system between Alcell lignin and PEO, supporting that hydrogen-bonding interactions are an important factor in the formation of miscible lignin-based polymer blends.

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.
