AI tool reliably predicts the flame resistance of new materials

Researchers at the IMDEA Materials Institute have developed an AI model to predict the flame resistance of epoxy resins. This tool replaces slow, expensive trial-and-error laboratory testing with rapid computational analysis of molecular structures.
Why it matters
This innovation could significantly improve safety standards in industries like aerospace and electronics by accelerating the development of safer, non-halogenated flame-retardant materials.
