Example: data

Outputs (Expected Results)

result data

Workflow result

Procedure (Unit Operations: 4 Stages)

Stage 1 Customer Requirement Analysis

RadonPy contains 1,070 polymer structures with computed properties from MD simulations

IN: input_data → OUT: stage_1_result

1

PROMPT: i have a customer request for automotive under-hood components that must withstand 180°c continuously

I'll query RadonPy database for aromatic polymer SMILES, then use PolyNC AI to predict Tg values for screening

2

PROMPT: the polyimide looks very promising with 243°c tg! can you analyze its molecular structure? i want to understand why it has such exceptional thermal stability

I'll use RDKit cheminformatics to analyze: molecular weight, aromatic rings, rotatable bonds, and compare to BPA-PC structure

Stage 2 ML Model Validation

PolyNC neural network predicted Tg for 10 aromatic candidates from RadonPy database

IN: stage_1_result → OUT: stage_2_result

1

PROMPT: the 243°c prediction is impressive! can you show me how the other aromatic polymers compared? i want to see the screening process

I'll show the complete PolyNC prediction results for all 10 candidates to demonstrate systematic screening

2

PROMPT: why does the polyimide have such exceptional thermal stability? can you explain the structure-property relationship

I'll analyze the structural features that contribute to exceptional Tg in polyimides

Stage 3 Application Assessment

Execute 2 operations

IN: stage_2_result → OUT: stage_3_result

1

PROMPT: perfect! can you summarize everything and confirm this polyimide is suitable for my customer's automotive under-hood application at 180°c

I'll compile all data and assess suitability for 180°C automotive under-hood application

2

PROMPT: excellent! now i need to optimize the polyimide synthesis

I'll use Box-Behnken DOE to optimize Temperature (200-250°C), Catalyst (1-3 mol% p-toluenesulfonic acid), and Time (4-8 hours)

Stage 4 Lab-Grade Synthesis Protocol with Calculated Stoichiometry

Execute 1 operations

IN: stage_3_result → OUT: stage_4_result

1

PROMPT: great! now calculate the exact stoichiometry and generate a lab-grade synthesis protocol for this polymer based on the optimal doe conditions

I'll use RDKit calculate_molecular_weight for exact monomer masses, then execute_python for stoichiometric calculations
