Determination of the Mode of Radical Termination from Pulsed Laser Polymerization Experiments in the Presence of Retardation and Chain Transfer to Agent
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The pulsed laser polymerization–high termination rate limit–size‐exclusion chromatography (PLP–HTRL–SEC) technique is used to estimate the mode of termination ( δ ) for n ‐butyl methacrylate ( n ‐BMA) polymerization at 30 °C. It is found that molecular mass distributions measured in these experiments are influenced by an unknown side reaction such as retardation or chain transfer that results in a marked decrease of intensity of the PLP peak. A new approach is developed to evaluate δ , with numerical experiments used to demonstrate the robustness of the methodology in the presence of retardation or chain transfer to agent. Application to the experimental n‐ BMA polymerization at 30 °C leads to an estimate for δ of 0.60 ± 0.03. image

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.
