The Composition Search tool in the Patsnap Eureka platform is designed to help users discover technical solutions based on specific metal or inorganic component ranges. Whether you are working with a known component range or exploring new formulations, this tool enables precise targeting and comprehensive analysis of related technical solutions.

Use guide

Initially, you will be met with a periodic table of elements, and the option to select between atomic percentage and weight percentage.

• at% signifies atomic percentage, so Cu-27at%Al would have 27% of the atoms in the alloy as Aluminium and 73% of the atoms in the alloy as Copper.
• wt% signifies weight percentage, so Cu-27wt%Al would have 27% of the weight of the alloy as Aluminium and 73% of the weight of the alloy as Copper

1) Interactive Periodic Table: Select one or more elements directly from the periodic table to define your search criteria.

2) Element Range Inputs: Specify the proportion of elements in terms of weight percentage (%Wt) or atomic percentage (#At) for detailed composition analysis.

3) Filtering: from here you can filter your results and select the materials that meet your requirements and click the search to view all related technical solutions.
Filter Types: The top bar allows users to refine their search by selecting predefined material categories such as:

• All: Displays all results without category restriction.
• Alloy: Filters for metallic alloys.
• Tabular Inorganic: Focuses on inorganic, tabulated substances.
• Ceramic: Filters for ceramic materials.
• Mineral: Targets materials of mineral origin.
• Coordination Compound: Focuses on substances with coordinated chemical structures.
• Polymer: Filters for polymer materials.
• Element: Displays individual elemental compositions.
