Speaker: Rampi Ramprasad, Polymer Informatics: Current Status & Critical Next Steps

Affiliation: Georgia Institute of Technology

ABSTRACT:

The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) has heralded a sea change in the philosophy of materials design.
In an increasing number of applications, the successful deployment of novel materials has benefited from
the use of computational, experimental and informatics methodologies. Here, we describe the role played
by computational and experimental data generation and capture, polymer fingerprinting, machine-learning
based property prediction models, and algorithms for designing polymers meeting target property
requirements. These efforts have culminated in the creation of an online Polymer Informatics platform
( https://www.polymergenome.org ) to guide ongoing and future polymer discovery and design [1-3].
Challenges that remain will be examined, and systematic steps that may be taken to extend the
applicability of such informatics efforts to a wide range of technological domains will be discussed. These
include strategies to deal with the data bottleneck, new methods to represent polymer morphology and
processing conditions, and the applicability of emerging algorithms for design.
