Designing new mixtures possessing a set of desired physical properties is one Synapse's key capabilities. Synapse enables you to design mixtures both graphically and combinatorially. The functions, constraints, component chemicals and constraints needed to design mixtures, as well as the generated candidates, are stored in Mixture Design Documents.

• Using a Combinatorial Design to search for additives that will depress DMSO's melting point without significantly changing its solubility parameters.
• Using a Combinatorial Design to design a liquid mixture of fragrance chemicals and ethanol that give a specified profile of vapor phase compositions.
• Using a Graphical Design to investigate which pairs of solvents would form an azeotrope without significantly affecting the mixture's overall composition.

A Mixture Design Document contains five chapters. Each of these chapters can be accessed by clicking on its corresponding tab in the document's Tab Pane.
