Abstract
Chain walking polymerization provides a novel strategy to synthesize highly branched high-molecular-weight polyethylenes with controllable chain topologies ranging from linear to hyperbranched dendritic structure. In this work, we report the performance of this novel series of polyethylenes as lubricant viscosity-index improvers. By examining a range of such model polymers possessing various tailor-designed chain topologies, we report the first systematic study on the unique effects of chain topology on the polymers' viscosity thickening ability and shear stability. It is demonstrated that hyperbranched polyethylenes we prepared possess extremely high shear stability with almost zero shear degradation regardless of their high molecular weight. Our study shows that these hyperbranched polymers have great potential for formulating high-performance lubricants with superior properties.

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
