New Design Method for Fabricating Multilayer Membranes Using CO-Assisted Polymer Compression Process.

It was verified that deep learning can be used in creating multilayer membranes with multiple porosities using the CO-assisted polymer compression (CAPC) method. To perform training while reducing the number of experimental data as much as possible, the experimental data of the compression behavior of two layers were expanded to three layers for training, but sufficient accuracy could not be obtained. However, the accuracy was dramatically improved by adding the experimental data of the three layers. The possibility of only simulating process results without the necessity for a model is a merit unique to deep learning. Overall, in this study, the results show that by devising learning data, deep learning is extremely effective in designing multilayer membranes using the CAPC method.
