Generative AI for Designing Sustainable Polymer Composites for Renewable Energy Applications
Abstract: Sustainable polymer composites are increasingly required for renewable energy devices, yet conventional trial-and-error formulation cannot efficiently balance performance, processability, recyclability, and environmental constraints. This study proposes a generative artificial intelligence framework for designing polymer composites for photovoltaic encapsulation, dielectric energy storage, polymer electrolytes, and thermal-management systems. Public polymer-property and composite datasets were curated from open databases and published supplementary records. Chemical descriptors, molecular fingerprints, polymer embeddings, processing variables, and sustainability …

Exploring the Role of Advanced Composite Materials in Current Electric Vehicles
Abstract: This paper examines the pivotal role of advanced composite materials in the realm of current electric vehicles (EVs). With their exceptional qualities and lightweight nature, composites have become the preferred material across diverse industries. Conventional internal combustion cars, notorious for their heavy and inefficient design, have exacerbated pollution levels, particularly in urban areas. In response, lightweight composite materials are gradually replacing heavier metals in vehicle production, offering enhanced durability, fatigue …
