GRK 3040:  Coin – Copolymer Informatics: Blending digital technologies and copolymer chemistry – From design to application

Subject Area Polymer Research
Term since 2025
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 527537972
 
The application of computer science and robotics in polymer research is currently still very limited. However, these technologies offer enormous potential to gain a deeper scientific understanding of polymers and to identify novel combinations of properties. At the same time, the targeted development of copolymers for new applications will be significantly simplified and the speed of research can be considerably increased.In the COIN research training group, computer science as well as robotic methods are to be developed and further optimized so that they can be applied in polymer research and particularly for copolymers. Their application will enable a targeted combination of synthesis, processing and properties of copolymers. In order to achieve this goal, expertise from the fields of synthesis, analytics, polymer chemistry, theoretical chemistry, engineering, computer science and robotics are combined.In addition, structured training at the interface between computer science / robotics and polymer chemistry / engineering is being developed as part of the graduate school. This program enables the doctoral students involved to receive a training in (co-)polymer informatics and, thus, a high level of interdisciplinary training in order to be able to communicate between the fields and find new ways of research.
