Abstract
Multi-component materials/compounds and polymeric/composite systems pose structural complexity that challenges the conventional methods of molecular representation in cheminformatics, which have limited applicability in such cases. Therefore, we have introduced an innovative structural representation technique tailored for complex materials. We implemented different mixing rules based on linear and nonlinear relationships’ additive effect of different components in composites treating each multi-component material as a mixture system. We developed and improved mixture descriptors based on 12 different mixture functions grouped into three main categories: property-based descriptors, concentration-weighted descriptors, and deviation-combination descriptors. A python package was developed for this purpose, allowing users to compute 12 different mixture-descriptors to use as input for the generation of mixture-based Quantitative Structure-Activity/Property Relationship (mxb-QSAR/QSPR) machine learning models for predicting a range of chemical and physical properties across various complex systems.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
