Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) is a powerful analytical method to find correlations between the structure of a molecule and its physicochemical properties. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is one of the most reported properties, and its characterisation is critical for tuning the physical properties of materials. In this work, we explore the use of machine learning in the field of QSPR by developing a recurrent neural network (RNN) that relates the chemical structure and the glass transition temperature of molecular glass formers. In addition, we performed a chemical embedding from the last hidden layer of the RNN architecture into an m-dimensional Tg-oriented space. Then, we test the model to predict the glass transition temperature of essential amino acids and peptides. The results are very promising and they can open the door for exploring and designing new materials.
