Nanomechanical Thermal Analysis of Photosensitive Polymers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A few nanograms of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or poly(vinyl cinnamate) (PVCN) was coated onto one side of a silicon cantilever, and the photodegradation of PMMA or photo-cross-linking of PVCN was investigated as a function of UV irradiation time. After UV irradiation, the resonance frequency and deflection of the polymer-coated silicon cantilevers were measured as a function of temperature, and these properties were found to be related to changes in the modulus and surface stress of the coated polymers, respectively. A decrease in the modulus and tensile surface stress was observed for PMMA under UV exposure due to photodegradation, whereas an increase in the modulus of PVCN was observed due to photo-cross-linking. In addition, the influence of UV exposure on the glass transition of the PMMA and PVCN was investigated using deflection measurements. Whereas a single glass transition was observed for PMMA, two distinctive glass transitions were observed for PVCN due to the copresence of cross-linked and un-cross-linked of PVCN. Variations in the polymer structures were also investigated as a function of UV irradiation time using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and compared with the results obtained using the cantilever measurements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
