Machine learning prediction on the fractional free volume of polymer membranes

Lei Tao et al.

Summary: This study uses high-throughput molecular dynamics simulations to build a large dataset of polymer's fractional free volume (FFV) and establish the composition-structure relation through machine learning models. By correlating polymer's sub-structures or physico-chemical indexes to FFV, a novel method for efficiently evaluating polymer's FFV is proposed. The study benchmarks the MD simulation protocol, conducts high-throughput MD simulations on over 6500 homopolymers and 1400 polyamides, and successfully predicts FFVs of over 8 million hypothetical polyimides using a feed-forward neural network model, which are validated by MD simulations. This approach shows promising capability for ML virtual screening in the discovery of polymer membranes with exceptional permeability/selectivity, based on the obtained FFVs and reported gas separation performances.
