EXPOD: An Expert System for Polymer Design

EXPOD provides comprehensive data and know-how management for designers of polymers. The porgram can accurately predict the fundamental properties of a polymer from its molecular structure using a specialized knowledge base and database. EXPOD allows a polymer designer to quickly work through design-cycles, greatly reducing development time. The program employs estimation methods stored in its knowledge base to predict fundamental properties of candidate polymers and compares calculated results with the polymer properties stored in the database. EXPOD cal also reverse-engineer polymer structures from a set of required properties. The parameter optimization module facilitates customization of EXPOD's parameter sites.
