Abstract

polymer degradation kinetics is a central problem in organic chemistry, yet standard techniques scale poorly across heterogeneous samples. We introduce a multi-omic framework and benchmark it against established baselines across 4220 trials. The proposed approach improves on the strongest baseline by 21% while reducing computational cost. We discuss limitations and outline directions for follow-up work at the undergraduate level.
