Abstract Scope |
The application of machine learning (ML) in formulation development has been demonstrated through various Design of Experiment (DOE) cases. However, in the early stages of development, the limited number of available formulations restricts the effectiveness of purely data-driven models, particularly when developing new formulations that extend beyond the property ranges of existing ones. To overcome this challenge, Physics-Informed ML, integrating domain knowledge from physical models with the latent patterns captured by data-driven models, shows a more robust approach. In this case study, we present a successful implementation of Physics-Informed ML, leveraging a random forest model with packing value theory to develop silicone formulations characterized by two properties traded off with each other, based on a small set of formulation available within a narrow property range. The efficacy of this hybrid approach is further highlighted through a comparative analysis, demonstrating the superior performance of Physics-Informed ML over the purely data-driven method. |
