A systematic study of <scp><i>tert</i>‐</scp>butylacrylamide‐methyl acrylate‐acrylic acid radical solution terpolymerization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Multi‐functional polymers used for personal care products can be synthesized by radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in alcohol/water solutions with non‐functional monomers such as methyl acrylate (MA) and N ‐ tert ‐butylacrylamide ( t ‐BuAAm). However, solvents capable of forming or disrupting hydrogen bonds cause the polymerization kinetics of these monomers to deviate from their polymerization behaviour in bulk and non‐polar solvents. In this work, a previous mechanistic model developed for MA/ t ‐BuAAm copolymerization is extended to represent the terpolymerization system MA/ t ‐BuAAm/AA. The additional kinetic coefficients required for the system are estimated from fitting to AA homopolymerizations and AA/MA and AA/ t ‐BuAAm copolymerizations conducted in an ethanol/water solution. In‐situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to follow monomer conversions and composition drift behaviour, with the molar mass distributions of the polymer products characterized by size‐exclusion chromatography. Although AA is more reactive than MA in non‐polar solvents, the reactivities of the two monomers equalize under the experimental conditions examined. Thus, the batch and semi‐batch terpolymerization data collected are represented equally well by a reduced acrylate/ t ‐BuAAm copolymerization model and the full terpolymerization implementation.

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.
