Optimal descriptors as a tool to predict the thermal decomposition of polymers

Quantitative structure-property relationship for the thermal decomposition of polymers is suggested. The data on architecture of monomers is used to represent polymers. The structures of monomers are represented by simplified molecular inputline entry system. The average statistical quality of the suggested quantitative structureproperty relationships for prediction of molar thermal decomposition function Yd, 1/2 is the following: r(2) = 0.970 0.01 and RMSE = 4.71 1.01 ( K x kg x mol(- 1)).
