Application of Genetic Algorithms to control synthesis of block copolymers containing PDMS - CO-PMAA sequences

摘要

In the last years a lot of scientist have reached to the conclusion that the Artificial Intelligence Methods can improve/facilitate the design of new macromolecules with desired/imposed properties.This paper deals with the use of a method that combine a Genetic Algorithms (GA) based strategy with a Tabu Search Method (TS) in order to identify and optimize the molecular ratio between polydimethylsiolxane/poly( methacrylic acid) (PDMS/PMAA) sequences related to the water delivery properties of the final network.
