Abstract
Summary Colloidal latexes of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) have been prepared by emulsion polymerization using amidine‐based switchable surfactants. Particles with sizes ranging from 50 nm to 350 nm were obtained. Destabilization of the latexes requires only air and heat which destabilize the latex by removing CO 2 from the system. The resulting micron sized particles can be easily filtered to yield a dry polymer powder and a clear aqueous phase. We have also developed a new benign means of reversibly coagulating anionic latexes by using “switchable water”, an aqueous solution of switchable ionic strength. The addition of CO 2 and switchable water to an anionic latex can result in aggregation of the latex. Subsequent removal of CO 2 by sparging with air allows the aggregated latex to be redispersed and recovered in its original state.

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
