An artificial neural network is applied to the estimation of strength of acid sites synergistically generated in binary mixed oxides. The acid strength is represented as a function of physical/chemical properties of both constituent oxides. The form of the function is represented by a back-propagation neural network which was trained by using the published acid strength data for such cases. The estimated results were in a good agreement with the experimentally observed ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
