Accelerating Sustainable Epoxy Resin Development Through Bayesian Optimization and Inverse Design

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of a machine learning framework for the optimization of the Tg of partially bio‐based epoxy resin formulations in a 13‐component design space using Bayesian optimization, active learning, random design, and inverse design. The results show that the BO effectively navigates high‐dimensional formulation spaces, and the final ML model could ...

Synthesis of Isochromans From Anacardic Acids Obtained From Cashew Nutshell Liquid (CNSL) and Their Antimicrobial Activity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Utilizing anacardic acid derived from cashew nut shell liquid, the synthesis of isochromans was accomplished. Two key steps were exploited. Firstly, a benzylic bromination in the green solvent tert‐butyl acetate is disclosed. Secondly, as an example, the exposure of the secondary alcohol 1‐(2‐methoxy‐6‐(pentadec‐1‐en‐1‐yl)phenyl)ethanol to potassium t ...
