Triphase Equilibria in Cellulose Nanocrystal Suspensions Containing Neutral and Charged Macromolecules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of added nonadsorbing macromolecules on the phase behavior of suspensions of electrostatically stabilized cellulose nanocrystals is examined. Triphasic isotropic−isotropic−nematic equilibria develop in cellulose nanocrystal suspensions to which a mixture of dextran and blue dextran is added. Phase diagrams for different combinations of uncharged dextran and anionically charged blue dextran are presented. The range of dextran concentrations at which the triphase equilibrium is produced is strongly influenced by the molecular weight of the blue dextran. Reentrant phenomena as well as regions of biphase coexistence are present in the phase diagrams. A threshold difference in charge density between two blue dextrans of varying degree of dye substitution is necessary for triphase equilibrium to occur at a given number density of each polymer species. Different repulsive electrostatic and attractive entropic forces may dominate at different concentrations of the dextrans, contributing to the rich phase behavior of these suspensions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
