PhD in Multiscale Modeling of Smart Self-Sealing Materials University of Amsterdam in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at the University of Amsterdam (Faculty of Science, Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences) on spectroscopy of smart self-sealing materials . The project develops responsive MOF-peptide coatings for adaptive protection, combining porous materials , thin films , peptide self-assembly , and in situ infrared spectroscopy to understand how chemical reactions trigger sealing behavior in real time. You will synthesize and characterize MOFs and MOF thin films, load peptides into p...
