Citrine Informatics’ customers are leveraging its artificial intelligence (AI) platform to optimize and streamline the development of coatings and other materials, enabling faster innovation and improving performance in a wide range of industrial applications, including corrosion control. CEO Greg Mulholland shared his insights on the future of using AI for coatings with Materials Performance.
Materials Performance (MP): Can you explain how AI is being applied to the formulation of coatings specifically for corrosion control?
Greg Mulholland (GM), CEO, Citrine Informatics: Every problem in materials and chemistry is an exercise in balancing priorities. Lighter is easy. Stronger is easy. Lighter and stronger is hard. In coatings for corrosion control, those tradeoffs also exist. Durability in many dimensions— adhesion, self-healing capabilities, ease of application, cost, environmental sustainability, and many other considerations— all trade off against one another, and there are no universal perfect materials. AI is now being used...
