Materials Informatics for Coating Formulations
To meet ever-shifting market, customer and supply demands, leaders in the coatings industry have adopted materials informatics (MI) to accelerate formulation development. Historically, intuition-based knowledge has been a key element of R&D in new coatings development. Through MI-driven product development, historical data alongside expert domain knowledge is captured, preserved, and deployed in the service of accelerated new product development.
Below, we discuss the core concepts enabling the successful deployment of MI to coatings problems. This example shows the application of materials informatics to address a common coatings reformulation problem: removing APEO-containing surfactants to achieve regulatory compliance.
