Abstract
Low molecular weight poly( N -vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) with a hydroxyl group at one end was successfully synthesized by free radical polymerization of N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP). Using isopropyl alcohol as solvent and 2-mercaptoethanol as chain transfer agent, a control over molecular weight (MW) profile of PVP was obtained, leading to average-number MW as low as 2500 Da and polydispersity indexes close to 1.5. MALDI−TOF mass spectrometry indicated that the insertion of hydroxyl group on one chain end was quantitative. Hydroxyl-terminated PVP was used as macroinitiator in ring-opening polymerization of d, l -lactide yielding amphiphilic poly( N -vinylpyrrolidone)- block -poly( d, l -lactide) (PVP- b -PDLLA) diblock copolymer with polydispersity indexes as low as 1.14. PDLLA contents could be tuned according to the feed ratio of DLLA, leading to molar percents up to 47%. The well-defined diblock copolymer self-assembles into micelles in aqueous solution. Polymeric micelles, composed of PVP- b -PDLLA with PVP M n of 2500 and PDLLA molar content of 45%, displayed monodispersed size distribution of about 40 nm. The critical association concentration of micelles was determined to be around 6 mg/L.

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 it
