A Supramolecular Approach to Photoresponsive Thermo/Solvoplastic Block Copolymer Elastomers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the aim of preparing supramolecular photoresponsive block copolymer elastomers, a series of ABA triblock copolymers with a poly( n -butyl acrylate) (PnBA) middle block and poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA or PDM) outer blocks were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), followed by PDM quaternization (giving PDMQ-PnBA-PDMQ) and then by ionic complexation with methyl orange (MO), an azo-containing and sulfonate-functionalized commercially available compound (giving PDMQ/MO-PnBA-PDMQ/MO). The PnBA block, which has a subambient glass transition, and the quaternized and complexed blocks, which have high glass transitions, form phase-separated soft and hard blocks, respectively. Simple elasticity tests of solvent-cast films show that the PDMQ/MO-PnBA-PDMQ/MO with hard block content between 18 and 29 wt % (as well as PDMQ-PnBA-PDMQ with 18 wt % hard block content) have significant elastomeric character. AFM and TEM (atomic force and transmission electron microscopies) of spin-coated films show a correlation between the elastomeric character and morphologies where the hard block forms a dispersed minority phase (spherical and/or short cylindrical domains). A continuous hard phase is observed for a hard block content of around 37 wt %; these materials show no significant elasticity. Reversible photoisomerization, with relatively high cis isomer content in the photostationary state, was also demonstrated.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
