AbstractThermosetting resins are one of the most widely used functional materials in industrial applications. Although some of the physical properties of thermosetting resins are controlled by changing the functional groups of the raw materials or adjusting their mixing ratios, it was conventionally challenging to construct machine learning (ML) models, which include both mixing ratio and chemical information such as functional groups. To overcome this problem, we propose a machine learning approach based on extended circular fingerprint (ECFP) in this study. First, we predicted the classification of raw materials by the random forest, where ECFP was used as the explanatory variable. Then, we aggregated ECFP for each classification predicted by the random forest. After that, we constructed the prediction model by using the aggregated ECFP, feature quantities of reaction intermediates, and curing conditions of resin as explanatory variables. As a result, the model was able to predict in high accuracy (R^2 = 0.8), for example, the elastic modulus of thermosetting resins. Furthermore, we also show the result of verification of prediction accuracy in first step, such as using the one-hot-encording. Therefore, we confirmed that the properties of thermosetting resins could be predicted using mixed raw materials by the proposed method.

AbstractThe physical properties that make “functional” materials worthy of their moniker frequently arise because of a phase transition that establishes a new kind of order as the material is cooled from a parent state. Such ordered states include ferroelectrics, ferromagnets, and structurally ordered martensites; because these states all break an orientational symmetry, and it is rare that one can produce the conditions for single domain crystallinity, the observed configuration is generally heterogeneous. However, the conditions under which domain structures form are highly constrained, especially by elastic interactions within a solid; consequently, the observed structures are far from fully random, even if disorder is present. Often the structure of the heterogeneity is important to the function, as in shape-memory alloys. Increasingly, we are surprised to discover new phases inside solids that are themselves a heterogeneous modulation of their parents.

Metalla-ynes and poly(metalla-ynes) have emerged as unique molecular scaffolds with fascinating structural features and intriguing photo-luminescence (PL) properties. Their rigid-rod conducting backbone with tunable photo-physical properties has generated immense research interests for the design and development of application-oriented functional materials. Introducing a second d- or f-block metal fragment in the main-chain or side-chain of a metalla-yne and poly(metalla-yne) was found to further modulate the underlying features/properties. This review focuses on the photo-physical properties and opto-electronic (O-E) applications of heterometal grafted metalla-ynes and poly(metalla-ynes).

We have investigated the effect that the Ta content has on the ferroelectric properties of strontium bismuth tantalate (SBT) thin films synthesized using metalorganic decomposition (MOD) and spin coating techniques. The physical properties of these SBT samples were strongly dependent upon the Ta ratio. Polarization measurements revealed that Ta-deficient SBT exhibited a relatively low coercive field (2Ec ∼ 87 kV/cm) and a high remanent polarization (2Pr ∼ 15 μC/cm2). The value of 2Pr decreased as the Ta ratio in SBT increased. The improved ferroelectric properties of the Ta-deficient SBT samples may have resulted from the uniformly well-grown bismuth-layered-structured (BLS) phases of the films and their highly preferential orientation along the a and b axes. We suggest that the incorporation of Ta vacancies plays an important role in enhancing the crystallinities and microstructures of Ta-deficient SBT films.
