Machine-learning-assisted prediction of the size of microgels prepared by aqueous precipitation polymerization

The size of soft colloids (microgels) is essential; however, control over their size has typically been established empirically. Herein, we report a linear-regression model that can predict microgel size using a machine learning method, sparse modeling for small data, which enables the determination of the synthesis conditions for target-sized microgels.
