Design Rules for Fluorocarbon-Free Omniphobic Solvent Barriers in Paper-Based Devices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The utility of hydrophobic wax barriers in paper-based lateral flow and multiwell devices for containment of aqueous solvents was extended to organic solvents and challenging aqueous surfactant solutions by preparation of a three layer barrier, consisting of internal pullulan impregnated paper barriers surrounded by external wax barriers. When paper impregnated with pullulan solution dries, the polymer forms solvent blocking lenses in the paper structure. Lens formation was illustrated by forming pullulan lenses in glass capillaries. The lens shapes were less curved compared to the predictions of a model based upon minimizing surface area. For barriers on Whatman # 1 filter paper, the pullulan molecular weight must be greater than ∼70 kDa, the mass fraction of pullulan in the barrier zone must be at least 32%, and there are restrictions on the minimum width of the pullulan impregnated zone.

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.
