Abstract

The traditional research paradigm for polymer materials relies heavily on time-consuming and inefficient trial-and-error methods, which are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern research and development. With the rapid advancement of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, machine learning has emerged as a powerful data analysis tool, revolutionizing polymer material research and development. This paper provides an overview of machine learning techniques, summarizes common machine learning algorithms, and reviews recent progress in machine learning-assisted polymer material design and development. Key areas include polymer sequence design, material property prediction, classification and identification, and applications leveraging computer vision technologies. Furthermore, this study discusses several critical challenges currently faced by the field and offers perspectives on future directions .
