1 Current Need
Polymer InformaticsBACKGROUND & NEED DESCRIPTION
• Polymers are highly valuable ingredients in liquid consumer goods, often serving as multifunctional ingredients that contribute a functional consumer benefit and also serve as rheology modifiers to enhance the overall usage experience.
• Many frequently used polymers in consumer goods today are derived from petrochemicals and are not readily biodegradable, which make them less desirable with respect to our sustainability goals.
• To accelerate polymer innovation, we are interested in applying machine learning and physics-based modelling approaches. However, polymers are stochastic materials and how existing data is aggregated and reported is non-standard across the scientific community.
