Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A series of poly{4‘-{( X -methacryloyloxyalkylene)methylamino}-4-nitroazobenzene} (p X MAN, where X is the number of methylene units and varies from 2 to 12) polymers with liquid crystalline (LC) properties was synthesized. When annealed above their T g values, the whole series of polymers exhibits a stable smectic A mesophase while only the material with the shorter spacer, p2MAN, presents a smectic phase followed by a nematic phase. The spacing of the smectic layers was determined by X-ray diffraction, revealing intermolecular reorganization by interdigitation of the side-chain mesogens since the smectic layer spacing was larger than a fully extended side chain but less than two extended chains. This behavior is confirmed by temperature dependent aggregation as observed by UV−visible spectroscopy during the transition from an amorphous state to a liquid crystalline phase. The stability of the mesophase is enhanced by intermolecular interactions as argued by enthalpic and thermochromic considerations. Systematic photoinduced birefringence measurements on the various states reveal that the maximum and remnant levels of birefringence decrease with increasing the spacer length and with decreasing the glass transition temperature of the considered liquid crystalline polymer.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
