First, new materials must have desirable properties, but the design space over which formulation scientists must search is daunting. Indeed, traditional development of new materials has been extremely slow and governed by trial-and-error based on local optimization of known formulations. The underlying reason for this slow development is due to the high dimensionality of these formulations consisting of resins, fillers, pigments, initiators, and inhibitors. Each of these constituents could include dozens to hundreds of candidate ingredients which can mixed with nearly infinite ratio combinations. To put this into perspective, if a formulations scientist were to choose 5 ingredients to incorporate into a formulation, of 100 ingredients on a bench top, the amount of unique combinations would be
