New Paradigms for Deep Generative Modeling of Polymers
Polymers are the most ubiquitous materials class in modern society. Most of us spend a significant part of our lives in buildings made of polymers, using electronics manufactured with special polymers, and taking medicines encapsulated in carefully-optimized polymer formulations. In many cases, the design of new polymers is key to addressing global challenges in sustainability, health, and security. However, current polymer design methods rely heavily on trial-and-error experimentation and are grounded on imprecise assumptions about their structure, which is not only time-consuming and costly, but also offers limited insights into the relationship between structure, synthesis, and…
