PhD position on Structure Property Investigations of Phosphorus based Covalent Adaptable Networks
vor 22 Stunden
Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Project Overview: Crosslinked polymers (e.g. thermosets) represent an important class of high-performance materials used in applications like transportation or sustainable energy production. In this PhD project, you will explore the fundamental mechanisms that will enable the development of more sustainable thermosets containing dynamic crosslinks in the future.
PhD Work Involves:
- Synthesizing phosphorus-containing network polymers based on phosphonate and phosphonamidate chemistry.
- Detailed rheological, thermal, mechanical and fire performance analysis of these CANs.
- Molecular structural characterization of the CANs with Solid-State NMR, X-ray analytics, Raman, AFM, etc., and relating the features to the properties.
- Collaboration with project partners internally (Empa) and externally (UGent).
- Presenting project results at conferences and publishing them in scientific journals.
Your Profile:
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with a strong organic and polymer chemistry background who wants to bridge fundamental knowledge in polymer chemistry and physics to real-world applications. A completed Master’s degree in polymer / organic chemistry is mandatory. Hands-on experience in organic and polymer synthesis is a must. Prior experience in the rheology and X-ray characterization of polymers is highly desirable. Self-driven curiosity and strong observational skills during experimentation are also highly desirable. Fluency in both verbal and written English is required. Knowledge of the German language will be an added benefit.
