Abstract
Multiblock copolymers with increasingly complex block sequences─for example, triblock terpolymers─offer unique opportunities to create nanostructured materials, but this potential has been hindered by a vast design space that complicates the exploration of structure–property relationships. Here, we report a versatile and scalable strategy to separate parent ABC and isomeric ACB triblock terpolymers into libraries of fractionated samples spanning a wide range of compositions. Using a combination of controlled polymerization and automated chromatography, the synthesis and separation of less than 10 ABC and ACB parent materials gave rise to over 100 purified triblock terpolymers. Separations follow systematic and predictable trends in volume fraction resulting from an adsorption-based mechanism where chains rich in non-polar blocks elute first, followed by more polar derivatives, yielding fractions with improved purity in composition and molar-mass dispersity. As evidenced by small-angle X-ray scattering, fractionation significantly enhances long-range order compared to as-synthesized parent materials and allows for the definitive identification of various nanoscale morphologies. This user-friendly separation strategy significantly increases the availability of well-defined ABC triblock terpolymer libraries to the polymer community while also improving sample quality and accelerating discovery.

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
