A Versatile Flow Reactor Platform for Machine Learning Guided RAFT Synthesis, Amidation of Poly(Pentafluorophenyl Acrylate) The automated optimization of the polymerization of pentafluorophenyl acrylate in continuous flow is reported. Optimal reaction parameters suggested by an optimization algorithm are validated by an i...

Self-Driving Laboratories for Advanced Sustainable Materials Synthesis at University of Sheffield on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - Self-Driving Laboratories for Advanced Sustainable Materials Synthesis at University of Sheffield, listed on FindAPhD.com

If you are interested in #selfdrivinglabs like those reported in our recent publications and you'd like to do a PhD in the area, then you're in luck! We have a position in Sheffield (funded for UK students): www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Peter Pittaway has developed a highly sophisticated platform which can generate multiple samples of polymer latex via free radical emulsion polymerization and also conduct Bayesian optimization campaigns to map the particle size achievable.

Self-driving laboratory platform for many-objective self-optimisation of polymer nanoparticle synthesis with cloud-integrated machine learning and orthogonal online analytics The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning is revolutionising the chemical industry, with the ability to automate and self-optimise reactions facilitating a step change in capabil...

Stephen Knox, Kai Wu and Nazrul Islam's paper is one of the first examples of “many objective” optimization in chemistry. In this case, applied to a RAFT dispersion polymerization allowing simultaneous optimization of >5 critical parameters.

I’m delighted to have not one, but two important papers published this week! These papers funded by the EPSRC @ukri.org showcase our development of #selfdrivinglabs for polymer and nanoparticle synthesis at @universityofleeds.bsky.social and @sheffielduni.bsky.social .

Going to put this out there again! Contact me if you have any further queries. We also have other opportunities here in Sheffield. sites.google.com/sheffield.ac...

Interested in self-driving labs for polymer synthesis? This PhD also has an enhanced stipend and close ties with a collaborator!
