Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, mechanical activation and tartaric acid addition were employed to reduce the residual carbon and intensify the efficiency of B4C synthesis using glucose and boric acid as starting materials. To investigate the role of mechanical activation on synthesis performance, one sample was subjected to high-energy ball milling before pyrolysis and the other after pyrolysis. To study the role of additives, in the precursor production stage, on synthesis efficiency and residual carbon reduction, different amounts of tartaric acid (0, 5, 10, 25, and 50 wt%) were tested. FT-IR and XRD analyses were used to characterize the bonds created in the precursors and the phases formed during the pyrolysis and synthesis steps, respectively. The results confirmed that mechanical activation before synthesis can improve the synthesis efficiency, but ball milling before pyrolysis did not significantly affect the final synthesis product. The addition of tartaric acid enhanced the formation of B–C bonds; hence, it increased the efficiency of B4C synthesis. The optimum additive amount was 25 wt% and higher amounts weakened the synthesis performance.

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.
