• abstract = "Developing new polymeric materials that satisfy bulk property design objectives specified by an engineer is of great importance. Industrial organisations, as well as social and economic factors, have increased the demand for new polymer technology which already encompass; adhesives, fibres, paints, plastics, rubbers, drugs, solvents, pesticides, refrigerants etc. The conventional design procedure is to hypothesise a candidate polymer, using expert knowledge. Next, the polymer is synthesised and the material tested for desired bulk properties and redesigned if it is not acceptable. Since this iterative process may involve a large set of candidate molecules, it may take considerable periods of time and consequently large capital expenditure. An alternative approach that significantly reduces the time and money required to design new polymers is highly desirable. Here, Computer Aided Molecular Design (CAMD) using Genetic Programming (GP) may provide an viable option, as the search operation is automated, thus greatly increasing efficiency.",
