Getting started

The library uses known reaction chemistries to build polymer chains from monomers. The polymer chemistries available include vinyls, acrylates, esters, amides, imides, and carbonates.

The library can generate multiple replicate structures to create polymer chains represented at the atom and bond level. The chains can be any degree of polymerization (DP). RDKit reaction smarts are used to manipulate the molecular structures and perform in silico reactions.
