. Based on two quantum chemical descriptors (the thermal energy Ethermal and the total energy of the whole system EHF) calculated from the structures of the repeat units of polyacrylamides by density functional theory (DFT), the support vector regression (SVR) approach combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO), is proposed to establish a model for prediction of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polyacrylamides. The prediction performance of SVR was compared with that of multivariate linear regression (MLR). The results show that the mean absolute error (MAE=4.65K), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE=1.28%) and correlation coefficient (R2=0.9818) calculated by leave-one–out cross validation (LOOCV) via SVR models are superior to those achieved by QSPR (MAE=14.25K, MAPE=4.39% and R2=0.9211) and QSPR-LOO (MAE=17.01K, MAPE=5.66% and R2=0.8823) models for the identical samples, respectively. The prediction results strongly demonstrate that the modeling and generalization abilities of SVR model consistently surpass those of QSPR and QSPR-LOO models. It is revealed that the established SVR model is more suitable to be used for prediction of the Tg values for unknown polymers possessing similar structure than the conventional MLR approach. These suggest that SVR is a promising and practical methodology to predict the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamides.

. This study introduces support vector regression (SVR) approach to model the relationship between the glass transition temperature (Tg) and multipole moments for polymers. SVR was trained and tested via 60 samples by using two quantum chemical descriptors including the molecular traceless quadrupole moment and the molecular average hexadecapole moment Φ. The prediction performance of SVR was compared with that of reported quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) model. The results show that the mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of training samples and test samples achieved by SVR model, are smaller than those achieved by the QSPR model, respectively. This investigation reveals that SVR-based modeling is a practically useful tool in prediction of the glass transition temperature of polymers.
