Abstract
Abstract An investigation of the effects of polystyrene—polyisobutylene linear triblock and three-arm star block thermoplastic elastomers on the processability and properties of butyl and bromobutyl rubbers was undertaken. All properties improved, with the exception of bromobutyl adhesion, which remained acceptable. The green strength of raw polymer blends improved by 30–80% and 5–20% improvement was seen on the carbon black compounds. Die swell was reduced by as much as 60% for compounds containing a triarm-star block. Tear strength doubled and air permeability decreased (by about) 20–40%. Fatigue life improved dramatically (20-fold on 300% crack growth and 80-fold on 600% crack growth). The cured blends can be viewed as interpenetrating networks of the chemically crosslinked rubber and the physically crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers.

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
