Higher-order structure of polymer melt described by persistent homology

Abstract The optimal method of the polymer Materials Informatics (MI) has not been developed because the amorphous nature of the higher-order structure affects these properties. We have now tried to develop the polymer MI’s descriptor of the higher-order structure using persistent homology as the to...
