Direct polymerization of isoprene and <i>α</i>‐pinene on acidic aerosols
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The direct polymerization of isoprene and α ‐pinene on acidic sulfate aerosols has been studied in a reaction chamber utilizing aerosol mass spectrometry. Results indicated that both species can be directly taken up into acidic aerosols to a significant extent, forming polymers that contain at least 4 isoprene or 2 α ‐pinene repeating units. Aerosol mass spectra indicate that double bonds in the polymers hydrate under acid catalysis, leading to partial oxygenation of the polymers. This reactive uptake depends highly upon relative humidity and particle acidity. This process is rapid and reaches equilibrium in less than 50 minutes, with effective partition coefficients ( K p , eff ) between 1.2–14.1 × 10 −6 m 3 μ g −1 , from which it is estimated <0.5–5 ng m −3 of polymers may be present from both species in acidic aerosols. The formation of biogenic polymers is an important mechanism for incorporating hydrophobic, unsaturated species into polar aerosols and enhanced SOA formation.

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.
