Advances in Polymer Informatics: Challenges and Potentials

Abstract: Machine learning technologies in materials informatics on polymeric materials are described based on the study of thermophysical properties of polymers. One of the highest barriers to the implementation of materials informatics in polymer research is the lack of a digital database that can be used for data-driven research. We are building a fully automated computational pipeline for molecular dynamics simulations and developing the world's largest and most comprehensive database of polymer properties.
