Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We report systematic studies on the foamability of our novel high-melt-strength long-chain branched polypropylene under supercritical CO 2 . Continuous foaming experiments were conducted using a tandem extrusion system and a set of filamentary dies with similar pressure drops but different pressure drop rates. The foam expansion was controlled by varying the temperature at the die exit. Under identical CO 2 loadings, the expansion ratio plotted as a function of die temperature exhibited similar shapes across multiple pressure drop rates. However, the shape of the curve varied across different amounts of CO 2 , under which the highest achievable expansion ratio occurred at a lower die temperature with increasing CO 2 content. The cell density displayed strong dependence on both the pressure drop rate and the amount of dissolved CO 2 . The effect of the latter became more apparent at lower pressure drop rates. The average cell size decreased with increasing CO 2 loading but generally showed weak dependence on pressure drop rate except at the highest value.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
