Abstrakt: Generating new molecules with the desired physical or chemical properties is the key challenge of computational material design. Deep learning techniques are being actively applied in the field of data-driven material informatics and provide a promising way to accelerate the discovery of innovative materials. In this work, we utilize an invertible graph generative model to generate hypothetical promising high-temperature polymer dielectrics. A molecular graph generative model based on the invertible normalizing flow is trained on a data set containing 250k polymer molecular graphs (mostly generated by an RNN-based generative model) to learn the invertible transformations between latent distributions and molecular graph structures. When generating molecular graphs, a sample vector is drawn from the latent space, and then an adjacency tensor and node attribute matrix are generated through two invertible flows in two steps and assembled into a molecular graph. The model has the merits of exact likelihood training and an efficient one-shot generation process. The learned latent space is used to generate polymers with a high glass-transition temperature (Tg) and a wide band gap (Eg) for the application of high-temperature energy storage film capacitors. This work contributes to the efficient design of high-temperature polymer dielectrics by using deep generative models.
