To overcome the limitations of empirical synthesis and expedite the discovery of new polymers, this work aims to develop a data-driven strategy for profoundly aiding in the design and screening of novel polyester materials. Initially, we collected 695 polyesters with their associated glass transition temperatures (Tgs) to develop a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model. The model underwent rigorous validation (external validation, internal validation, Y-random and application domain analysis) to demonstrate its robust predictive capabilities and high stability. Subsequently, by employing an in-silico retrosynthesis strategy, over 95000 virtual polyesters were designed, largely expanding the available space for polyester materials. External assessments highlight the good extrapolation ability of the QSPR model. Furthermore, we experimentally synthesized diverse virtual polyesters with Tgs covering a sufficient large temperature range. It is believed that this data-driven approach can drive future product development of polymer industry.
