Oil-induced formation of branched wormlike micelles in an alcohol propoxysulfate extended surfactant system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Na) induces the elongation of spherical micelles into oil-swollen branched wormlike micelles (WLMs) near the phase inversion point of the surfactant-oil-water (SOW) system. The hydrophilic-lipophilic-difference (HLD) framework, which has been associated with surfactant curvature, was successfully used to predict the conditions under which WLMs are produced for both polar and non-polar oils. At HLD = 0, the formation of low-curvature surfactant structures including WLMs and liquid crystals are favored in water-rich systems. Micellar growth begins around HLD = -0.5, and reaches a plateau upon the formation of a branched WLM network at HLD = 0. Above the entanglement concentration, the branched WLMs exhibit Maxwell and shear thinning behavior which is suitable for the suspension of nanoparticles, among others.

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.
