CRIPT is a partnership between MIT, Citrine Informatics, Dow Chemical, NIST, and the University of Chicago in which a community database for polymer science is developed through an NSF Phase I Convergence Accelerator project. Broader Impacts Innovation CRIPT MONET Innovations have led to the successful spin-off CRIPT (the Community Resource for Innovation in Polymer Technology). CRIPT provides a platform for people working in polymer science and engineering to capture and share data. CRIPT was launched at MIT with collaborators in academia, industry, and government with the support of an NSF Phase I Convergence Accelerator project. CRIPT App ITE 2134795 The (near) future of chemistry will be powered by human chemists co-working with data algorithms and robots to drive innovation. No one can work together without a common language, and data searches involving polymer chemistry remain exceedingly challenging because the IUPAC naming convention is not widely followed, proprietary sample names appear in publications, and even electronic lab notebooks remain challenging to search accurately. MONET is fueling innovation by leveraging an unconventional open-source approach . Our BigSMILES line notation provides a system for identifying polymer molecules based on their chemical structure and synthesis, making them searchable at previously unavailable levels. We have also recently created PolyDAT, a schema for organizing polymer data that accompanies BigSMILES and provides a complete description of polymer molecular structure, including polymer networks. The impact of our open-source approach has been swift and far-reaching. Early indications came from posting the BigSMILES project on GitHub, which generated community feedback that quickly led to grammar modifications. Recently, MIT, Citrine Informatics, Dow Chemical, and NIST partnered to form CRIPT, a spin-off of the MONET effort that is developing our tools into a community database for polymer science through an NSF Phase I Convergence Accelerator project. Major chemical companies (Dow, BASF, and Braskem America), as well as smaller informatics companies, are all in discussions about adopting this technology and are helping to participate in its development and testing. In addition, the innovation coming out of MONET is having a potentially large impact on NSF- and DOE-supported investments in polymer science, including national research centers. If you or your company would like to learn more about how to use polymer data or how to partner with us, please contact us at monet-cci at duke dot edu! We prioritize building and nurturing relationships with our corporate partners as a means to leverage our knowledge and expertise for the benefit of all parties involved. We actively seek out opportunities to collaborate with our partners and translate our findings into real-world solutions, driving innovation and progress in our respective fields. If you would like to propose an innovation or entrepreneurial partnership, please contact us. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2022/sc/d2sc02257e Previous Next

Engaging, content-rich events for the public, especially through the Multiverse Concert Series—a collaboration between the performing arts and physical sciences with our partners at Multiverse. Broader Impacts Informal Science Communication Art of Polymers MONET partners with Multiverse to produce the Art of Polymers concert series. Since 2021, this concert has been performed live to hundreds of attendees on multiple occasions, in both remote and in-person formats. New content for future performances is routinely being developed. The recordings are available below. Art of Polymers has been highlighted in Advance Science News and featured on WGBH, reaching a metropolitan Boston audience of over 100,000. Multiverse These and other questions are addressed in the musical concert/scientific exposition entitled “ Art of Polymers ,” We encourage you to engage with us as we explore polymer chemistry's past, present, and (most importantly) future. Watch our show (an excerpted musical piece is provided below), share it with those you know, and/or if you are interested in setting up a watch party and inviting a MONET researcher to attend for Q&A, send an email to monet-cci at duke dot edu! We look forward to hearing from you! Our goal is to convey the following messages: Polymer properties positively impact the quality of life Big challenges in polymer chemistry include enhanced lifetime and mechanical performance Advancements that address those challenges must consider global sustainability Specific technical accomplishments of MONET Science and art depend on the synergistic interplay of creativity and mode of execution Chemists come from everywhere and play many different roles in scientific research We strategically partner to: Create new content in high-value tailored outreach experiences Assess these activities and use that knowledge to identify Refine components that especially effective. Expand the reach and impact of our creations by deploying them in public outreach events across the country. Through this framework, we aim to reach non-specialist audiences of all ages, interests, and backgrounds.
