In Situ Copolymerization Studies of Lignin, Acrylamide, and Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride: Mechanism, Kinetics, and Rheology
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide In this work, free-radical polymerization of kraft lignin, acrylamide (AM), and diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) was studied in detail. In situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), rheological analysis, and particle size techniques were conducted to understand the physicochemical characteristics of this copolymerization system. The copolymerization of lignin–AM and lignin–DADMAC had activation energies of 65.7 and 69.3 kJ/mol, respectively, and followed the first-order kinetic model, which was monitored by in situ H 1 NMR results. The highest conversions of AM and DADMAC were 96 and 68%, respectively, in the copolymerization of lignin, AM, and DADMAC at the molar ratio of 5.5:2.4:1, pH 2 and 85 °C. The results illustrated that the participation of AM in the reaction was essential for polymerizing DADMAC to lignin due to less steric hindrance of AM than DADMAC facilitating its bridging performance. The monomer conversion ratio and dynamic rheology of the reaction system indicated that lignin acted as an inhibitor in the copolymerization reaction. The particle size analysis of the reaction mixtures reflected the alteration in the size of particles from coarse particles (>300 μm) to fine particles (<10 and 10–50 μm) and suspension to colloidal systems when the reaction progressed. The oscillation study of the reaction media confirmed the gradual increase in the viscosity of the reaction media, illustrating the crosslinking of lignin, AM, and DADMAC.

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.
