Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and methods are dramatically innovating the application protocols of most polymer characterization techniques. In this paper, we demonstrate that, with the aid of custom-made and properly trained machine learning algorithms, analytical Crystallization Elution Fractionation (aCEF) can be changed from an ancillary to a standalone approach usable to identify and categorize commercially relevant polyolefin materials without any prior information. The proposed protocols are fully operational for monomaterials, whereas for multimaterials, integration with AI-aided 13C NMR is a realistic intermediate step.
