Project A2
Investigation of the copolymerization by combining experimental high-throughput and theoretical approaches
Robot for the high-throughput synthesis of polymers
Project A2 aims for a universally applicable AI-based solution, which ultimately enables the synthesis of a copolymer with defined molecular parameters, such as molar mass or distribution of the repeating units in the polymer chain. To achieve such a solution, experimental and theoretical approaches will be combined and eventually merged. Experimentally, high-throughput experimentation (HTE) using automated robots will be applied to generate a large amount of comparable and usable data. Theoretically, quantum chemical approaches are employed in combination with molecular dynamics simulations to determine molecular and structural properties, as well as polymerization thermodynamics and kinetics.
