Abstract
Immobilizing poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) on cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of butyl acrylate (BA) on the surface of 2-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized CMF generated highly hydrophobic microfibrils (CMF-PBA) with a hard core and a soft-shell structure. TGA and static water contact angle results suggested that the surfaces of the modified CMF samples were not completely covered by PBA chains until the molecular weight of grafts became sufficiently long. The GPC results indicated that the grafts with low molecular weight showed controlled/"living" characteristics of the surface-initiated ATRP; however, there existed more side reactions with the increase in molecular weights. Biocomposites consisting of polypropylene (PP) and CMF-PBA samples exhibited significantly improved compatibility, interface adhesion, and mechanical properties with the increase in PBA graft length. The findings confirmed that the longer grafts facilitated the better entanglement of PBA grafts with PP macromolecules and thus further improved the mechanical properties.

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
