摘要
The complexity and diversity of polymer topologies,or chain architectures,present substantial challenges in predicting and engineering polymer properties.Although machine learning is increasingly used in polymer science,applications to address architecturally complex polymers are nascent.Here,we use a generative machine learning model based on variational autoencoders and data generated from molecular dynamics simulations to design polymer topologies that exhibit target properties.
