Abstract :
This article explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in polymer science, emphasizing its impact on design, manufacturing, quality control, and sustainability. Advanced AI algorithms are revolutionizing polymer development by enabling precise modeling and simulation, optimizing material properties, and enhancing manufacturability. Machine learning techniques are being applied in process simulation, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance, leading to fewer defects, reduced waste, and improved operational efficiency. The article also examines AI's contributions to recycling and waste management, showcasing innovative solutions for creating durable and recyclable polymers that align with circular economy principles. Additionally, AI supports the development of biobased and biodegradable polymers, offering eco-friendly alternatives for applications such as packaging and medical devices. The research underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to fully leverage AI's potential, demonstrating how these technologies can drive greener production, reduce resource consumption, and promote environmental sustainability. By integrating AI into polymer science, this paper highlights its transformative role in advancing sustainable materials and processes, positioning AI as a cornerstone in the evolution of the field. The findings suggest that AI not only accelerates innovation but also addresses critical environmental challenges, making it an indispensable tool for the future of polymer science and sustainable industrial practices.
