The production of high polymer to surfactant microlatexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Starved‐feed microemulsion polymerization of styrene was investigated. The influence of the type (SDS or Dowfax 2A1) and concentration of anionic surfactant on the final particle size of latex made by the polymerization of microemulsions of styrene was studied. In addition, the influence of 1‐pentanol and acrylic acid as cosurfactants was examined. Latexes with 20% solids content and polymer to surfactant ratio of 22 were produced, with a particle diameter of 42 nm and very low polydispersity indexes. Smaller particles are produced using SDS than Dowfax 2A1 for the same weight fraction of surfactant; however, similar particle sizes were obtained with the same molar concentrations of SDS and Dowfax 2A1. Further shot additions of monomer increased solids level as high as 40% and polymer to surfactant ratios greater than 40, with particles remaining monodisperse with average diameter smaller than 60 nm. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
