Constructing a temperature transferable coarse-grained model of cis-1,4-polyisoprene with the structural and thermodynamic consistency aided by machine learning

Polyisoprene (PI) is a widely used polymer and constructing a systematic coarse-grained (CG) PI model with the structural and thermodynamic consistency with the underlying atomic model over a wide range of thermodynamic conditions is very important for the predictive capability of CG model on overall properties of PI polymer materials and the establishment of their structure-property relationship. However, as the number of tunable CG potential parameters and target properties grows, traditional parameter tuning methods become impractical. In this work, we present a novel approach for determining the optimal CGPI non-bonded potential parameters by employing Particle Swarm Optimization as the calibrator with machine learning-based models trained using molecular dynamics data. The resulting CG model is further augmented with temperature factors through a multistate parameterization approach. This enhancement ensures the model's temperature transferability of structure and thermodynamics in a wide temperature of $150K\sim 750K$.
