Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A mathematical model for polymerization kinetics and molar mass development in the nitroxide‐mediated polymerization (NMP) of vinyl monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) has been developed. The method of moments is used for molar mass development. The perturbed‐chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC‐SAFT) equation of state is used to estimate the number of stable phases present at equilibrium in the reaction mixture, critical number average chain length at which polymer particles are formed, and monomer concentration in each phase. Pure and binary PC‐SAFT interaction parameters are estimated from liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) and liquid–vapour equilibrium (LVE) experimental data at 60 to 129°C. The effect of pressure on monomer conversion and molar mass development in the polymerization of styrene (Sty) using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 2,2,6,6‐Tetramethylpiperidinyl‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) at 120°C and 300–500 bar is studied. It was observed that increasing pressure increases polymerization rate without significantly affecting molar mass development.

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.
