Abstract

In order to predict percolation temperature of AOT-Based microemulsions (AOT/iC8/H2O w/o microemulsions) in the presence of small organic molecules (ureas and thioureas), different Artificial Neural Network architectures (ANN) have been carried out using a Perceptron Multilayer Artificial Neural Network with three entrance variables (W = value of the microemulsion, additive concentration, logP value). Best ANN architecture consists in three input neurons, one middle layer (with two neurons) and one output neuron. Correlation values were R = 0.9251 for the training set and R = 0.9719 for the prediction set.

Kurzfassung

Um die Percolationstemperatur von Mikroemulsionen ((AOT/iC8/H2O w/o-Mikroemulsionen) auf AOT-Basis in Gegenwart kleiner organischer Moleküle (Harnstoff- und Thioharnstoffmoleküle) vorhersagen zu können, wurden verschiedene künstliche neuronale Netzwerkarchitekturen (ANN) ausgeführt. Es wurde ein künstliches Perzeptron-Mehrschicht-Netzwerk mit drei Eintrittsvariablen (W = Wert für die Mikroemulsion, Konzentration der Additive, logP-Wert) eingesetzt. Das beste ANN besteht aus drei Eintrittsneutronen, einer Mittellage (mit zwei Neuronen) und einem Austrittsneuron. Die Korrelationswerte waren R = 0,9251 für das Trainingsset und R = 0,9719 für das Vorhersage (Prediciton)-set.
