Artificial Intelligence for Chemical Manufacturing

Ongoing
The chemical manufacturing design process relies heavily on the recommended values that engineers and researchers usually obtain from handbooks and databases. Those sources often lack easy ways to judge the reliability of information, either in the sense of where the data come from or what the

Binary Metal-Carbon Phase-Transition Temperatures

Author(s)
Donald R. Burgess Jr.
In this work, we compiled and evaluated eutectic and peritectic phase-transition temperatures for metal-carbon (e.g., Co-C, Re-C) and metal carbide-carbon

Correlating Near-Infrared Spectra to Bulk Properties in Polyolefins
