What is ThinkMaterial?

ThinkMaterial is an AI-powered platform that accelerates materials research and development. It combines machine learning, quantum chemistry, and materials informatics to help scientists discover, design, and optimize materials faster than traditional methods.

Key Benefits

• Speed: Generate and evaluate materials candidates in minutes instead of months
• Cost Efficiency: Reduce lab experiments by predicting properties in silico
• Novel Discovery: Explore vast chemical spaces to find unexpected solutions
• Knowledge Integration: Connect your existing data with scientific literature

Quick Start Guide

1. Setup Your Account

   • Configure your organization profile
   • Invite team members
   • Set up API access if needed

2. Import Your Data

   • Upload existing material databases
   • Connect lab equipment for automated data collection
   • Import published datasets

3. Run Your First Prediction

   • Select a material class
   • Define target properties
   • Launch the AI engine

Within <30 seconds, you'll receive your first predictions!

Example: Polymer Optimization

Let's walk through a simple example of optimizing a polymer for thermal stability:

// Example code for property prediction
import { predictProperties } from '@thinkmaterial/api';

const polymer = {
  monomer: 'C8H8',
  endGroups: ['phenyl', 'methyl'],
  degreeOfPolymerization: 120
};

const properties = await predictProperties(polymer, ['thermal_stability', 'tensile_strength']);
