Abstract

This paper explores the integration of pattern analysis techniques into the study of polymer blends, aiming to enhance our understanding of their microstructure and properties. Polymer blends, combinations of two or more polymers, hold immense potential for tailored material design. However, accurately characterizing their intricate microstructures remains a challenge. Pattern analysis offers advanced tools for uncovering hidden relationships within complex data. This research investigates how pattern analysis can provide insights into the structural features and performance of polymer blends, contributing to advancements in material science and industrial applications.
