Abstract
We have studied the gelation dynamics of solutions of Pluronic F127, a triblock copolymer, using oscillatory rheometry. As the solutions are slowly heated from 10 to 85°C, they undergo a transition from sol to gel around room temperature, followed by a gel-sol transition at a higher temperature. The sol-gel transition temperature decreases and the width in the temperature of the gel phase broadens with increasing concentration. The reverse transitions occur on cooling. Both transitions are hysteretic, and the temperature range over which the transitions occur is different on cooling than on heating. Near the phase transitions, the rheological relaxation time becomes very long, up to of order τs∼104s. Gelation in Pluronic solutions is due to the arrangement of micelles into an organized large-scale structure, and our results suggest that the rearrangement of micelles into or out of the gel structure is a slow process at temperatures within the phase transitions.

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
