A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Polymer R&D
REACTOR is used by polymer researchers across synthesis, formulation, composites, conductive systems, and recycling chemistry. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own protocols, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.
Free tier available. No credit card required.
Polymer R&D moves across multiple chemistries in a single project.
A typical project covers monomer design, polymerization, formulation, characterization, processing, and increasingly, end-of-life behavior. Each step draws on different sources: peer-reviewed literature, internal protocols, patents, supplier data, and the team's own prior work.
Most of the time cost sits in reasoning across all of that while keeping the chemistry context coherent. Switching tools, re-establishing context, capturing decisions, and preserving rationale across team changes is where the slow days come from.
REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for this process. It reasons across polymer chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space so the reasoning compounds project over project.
Where REACTOR Fits Across Polymers
Polymer R&D spans a wide chemistry surface. Each sub-area has its own reasoning challenges, and each benefits from a chemistry-native intelligence layer.
Synthesis & Polymerization
Polymer Formulation
Composites & Reinforced Polymers
Biodegradable & Bio-Based Polymers
Conductive & Functional Polymers
Recycling Chemistry & Circular Polymers
What This Looks Like in Polymers
Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.
Exploring Biodegradable Alternatives
A polymer chemist exploring biodegradable alternatives to a legacy resin works across recent catalysis literature and their own lab data inside a single Research Space. Degradation pathways are compared across systems, with every observation referencing its source: papers, figures, and connected chemistry data.
Comparing Stabilizer Systems
A formulation scientist comparing stabilizer systems uploads supplier data sheets and peer-reviewed studies into a Research Space. REACTOR reasons across compatibility and aging behavior, referencing each claim back to the source document, including extracted images and figures.
Investigating a Competitor Patent
An R&D lead investigating a competitor's patent for a new composite resin uploads the patent PDF and receives a chemically relevant analysis. Adjacent literature surfaces alongside, and the full analysis stays attached to the Research Space for future work on the same chemistry.
Forking Reasoning on Two Routes
A senior chemist running a recycling chemistry program forks a reasoning thread to explore two depolymerization routes in parallel. Both lines of inquiry stay live in the same Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately for traceability.
Web Research Inside REACTOR
REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Polymer scientists use it to evaluate monomer and additive suppliers, compare vendors, and pull current industry information from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.

Test REACTOR on Your Own Polymer Chemistry
Open a Research Space, bring in a paper, patent, or one of your own protocols, and see how REACTOR reasons across the chemistry in your own work.
REACTOR supports R&D reasoning and information work. It is not a substitute for institutional safety review. Always consult qualified safety officers and validated SOPs before lab work involving hazardous chemistry.
