# 🧪 Materials Science Expert Chatbot

Welcome to the **Materials Science Expert Chatbot** — an AI-powered assistant specialized in helping you choose the **best materials for specific applications**.

This chatbot is powered by the **Groq API (LLaMA 3.1-8B)** and is tailored to only respond to **Materials Science-related queries**.

---

## 🔍 What Can This Chatbot Do?

- ✅ Suggest the **top 3 materials** for a given application
- ✅ Explain the **required properties** for the application
- ✅ Provide a **side-by-side comparison table** of key material properties (mechanical, thermal, chemical)
- ✅ Recommend suitable materials based on different scenarios
- ❌ Will **not respond** to unrelated questions (e.g., history, general knowledge)

---

## 💬 Example Questions

You can ask things like:

- *What are the best corrosion-resistant materials for marine environments (e.g., desalination)?*
- *Which materials are ideal for solar panel coatings and desert heat management?*
- *What materials are used for aerospace structures in extreme climates?*
- *What advanced materials are used in electric vehicles and batteries in the UAE?*
- *How can one leverage AI/ML techniques in Materials Science?*

The bot will return a clean, structured comparison of the best material options along with their justifications.

---

## 🚀 How to Use

1. Type your question in the textbox (e.g., “Best materials for aerospace applications”)
2. Click **Submit** (orange button) or press **Enter**
3. View the expert response including a **materials comparison table**
4. Browse popular questions for inspiration
