Abstract

Poly(methy methacrylate) (PMMA)‐SiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared via differential microemulsion polymerization. The effects of silica loading, surfactant concentration, and initiator concentration on monomer conversion, particle size, particle size distribution, grafting efficiency, and silica encapsulation efficiency were investigated. A high monomer conversion of 99.9% and PMMA‐SiO 2 nanoparticles with a size range of 30 to 50 nm were obtained at a low surfactant concentration of 5.34 wt% based on monomer. PMMA‐SiO 2 nanoparticles showed spherical particles with a core‐shell morphology by TEM micrographs. A nanocomposite membrane from natural rubber (NR) and PMMA‐SiO 2 emulsion was studied for mechanical and thermal properties and pervaporation of water‐ethanol mixtures. PMMA‐SiO 2 nanoparticles which were uniformly dispersed in NR matrix, significantly enhanced mechanical properties and showed high water selectivity in permeate flux. Thus, the NR/PMMA‐SiO 2 hybrid membranes have great potential for pervaporation process in membrane applications. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2017. © 2017 Society of Plastics Engineers

Full frame machine prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
