Binary Macromolecular Mesocrystals via Designed Block Copolymer Blends
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The theoretical prediction that various binary macromolecular mesocrystals composed of A and C spheres could be formed by B 1 AB 2 CB 3 pentablock terpolymers ( JACS 2014, 136, 2974–2977) offers a promising route to fabricate these intricately structured nanomaterials. However, experimental realization of this strategy has been impeded by the requirement of synthesizing precisely designed pentablock terpolymers. Here, we propose a conceptually new and technically simpler route to engineer binary macromolecular mesocrystals by using BA′/ABC/C′B ternary block copolymer blends that are designed to replicate the phase behavior of B 1 AB 2 CB 3 pentablock terpolymers. Using self-consistent field theory, we show that the ternary blends exhibit similar self-assembly behaviors as the pentablock copolymers, forming various mesocrystals with controllable coordination numbers. This study offers a simpler alternative to fabricating novel macromolecular mesocrystals and introduces a general design principle for emulating multiblock copolymers by block copolymer blends.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
