Bioplastic design using multitask deep neural networks

Biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates are promising replacements for non-degradable plastics. Here, neural network property predictors are applied to a search space of approximately 1.4 million candidates, identifying 14 polyhydroxyalkanoates that could replace widely used petroleum-based plastics.
