Abstract
Fiber morphology has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of fiber/polymer composites. The performance of nine types of long wood fibers (initial aspect ratio of >40), two long agricultural fibers (initial aspect ratio of >40), and one short fiber wood flour (initial aspect ratio of = 5—10) are compared. The fibers were compounded in polypropylene in a Brabender mixer and subsequently injection molded. The longer natural fibers (both wood fibers and agricultural fibers) did not provide significant additional reinforcement when compared to the wood flour. The fibers were extracted from the final specimens and measured using a Fiber Quality Analyzer. They were found to be severely degraded by processing, while the wood flour morphology was only slightly modified. The degree of length degradation was found to be dependent on fiber strength.

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
