The significance of materials informatics on material science

Abstract

In 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama proposed the Material Genome Project. Want to high high-speed and low-cost methods to develop material science, which promoted the rapid development of materials informatics. Materials informatics is an interdisciplinary field that employs the principles of informatics to enhance the comprehension, utilization, and advancement of materials within the realm of materials science. Materials informatics can take multiple approaches and influence many aspects of new material development. Material informatics will cause great changes in the material industry and promote the rapid development of materials. A variety of materials informatics schemes have been developed to analyze materials, and there have been many successful cases worth applying. This article introduces the basic concepts and main research fields of materials informatics and describes four main steps in materials informatics: data collection, data processing, the establishment of a database, construction of a model. The main applications of materials informatics include simulation and prediction of material properties, development of new materials, material optimization and performance improvement. Thinking about the difficult problems in the field of materials informatics for application.
