    <abstract language="eng">This paper aims at investigating and comparing the D- and G-optimal criteria for non-pure blends slope designs. The study used a parameter subsystem of interest based on the second-degree Kronecker model to obtain the H-invariant information matrices for both Equally Weighted Simplex Centroid Axial Design and Un-equally Weighted Simplex Centroid Axial Design. The D- and G- optimal values worked out revealed that the centroid achieved the best D- and G-optimality values and that the best D-efficient and G-efficient design points were  with 105.71% and  99.76% respectively. The latter design was more D-efficient while former design was more G-efficient.</abstract>
