Tailoring Uniform Copolymer Composition Distribution via Policy II RAFT Solution Copolymerization of Styrene and Butyl Acrylate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) is regarded as a powerful method to design various chain structures. Semibatch monomer feeding strategies in CRP are widely used for targeting the polymer products with desired copolymer composition distribution (CCD) and molecular weight distribution, which define the properties of polymer materials. In this work, the uniform CCD in reversible addition–fragmentation transfer (RAFT) solution copolymerization is targeted via model‐based semibatch Policy II. A RAFT solution copolymerization model is first developed and correlated with batch styrene (St) and butyl acrylate (BA) copolymerization experimental data. St/BA copolymers having three different uniform compositions are produced by the comonomer feeding Policy II. Heat and concentration analysis prove feasibility of the policy. Simulation results show that the uniform CCD can be achieved by both Policy II and Policy I, compared with starved feeding and constant feeding. Policy II gives higher and more steady rates than Policy I.

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.
