Harnessing Molecular Modeling to transform innovation in Polymeric Materials and Consumer Packaged Goods

Speaker:

Sriram Krishnamurthy, Senior Scientist I, Schrödinger

Abstract:

Polymeric materials and consumer packaged goods (CPGs) hold significant importance in both industrial and everyday contexts, impacting numerous aspects of modern life. Polymers play a crucial role in various industries due to their versatility and wide range of applications like construction, electronics, healthcare, and automotive. As scientific research and innovation continue to advance, polymeric materials remain at the forefront of development. In the context of consumer packaged goods (CPG), which significantly influence our daily lives, there is an ongoing push to create products that meet evolving consumer demands, such as healthier food options and more sustainable packaging solutions. Polymeric materials and CPGs are deeply interconnected in their importance to modern society. Molecular modeling has emerged as a transformative tool in the design and optimization of these materials. By providing deep insights into molecular interactions and material properties, molecular modeling accelerates the development of novel, efficient, and sustainable materials. This approach not only enhances our understanding of material behavior, but also facilitates the innovation of advanced solutions tailored to the specific needs of modern consumer products. This webinar will highlight Schrödinger’s Materials Science tools that can accelerate R&D efforts in these scientific domains. We will showcase practical case studies to tackle key problems and identify areas where molecular modeling can be applied.
