Abstract

Design processes of functional polymers were accelerated by adopting the Bayesian optimization; the number of trials in the process was substantially reduced. The optimization process was more than forty time accelerated to find out the target polymer compared to the random selection. The optimization efficiency was found to be successfully improved by utilizing the standard deviation of predicted probability distribution of objective function. The performance of the method was robust for dataset size in the analysis; the target polymer could be found even for a small training dataset. The proposed method is a promising tool for the high-performance polymer design, and a wide range of its applications will be expected in the polymer industry.
