Seminar on Material Informatics and its Application to Polymer Alloy Design

The IR Technical Education Research Institute is set to host an engaging seminar aimed at exploring the application of material informatics in the realm of polymer alloy design. This seminar will cover various aspects such as the descriptorization of polymer materials, the optimization of component compositions, and the control of process conditions, including soft sensors for process monitoring. All of these will be examined within the framework of data-driven chemistry.

In today's fast-paced research and development environment, there is an increasing demand for timely and accurate decision-making. This includes not only research and development of new materials, but also effective production processes and stable quality assurance. The quality of material properties is significantly influenced by process conditions, making the relationship between structure (composition) and properties crucial. This is where the concept of process informatics plays an essential role.
