Industrial Use of Group Contribution Methods for Estimation of Physical Properties

  • Conference paper
Physical Property Prediction in Organic Chemistry

Abstract

Estimation methods for physical properties are widely used in industry. The number of chemical substances is enormous (several million) and thus complete or even partial experimental data are rare. In addition, experimental measurements are expensive and thus screening studies and preliminary design often must be done without measured properties.
