PhD in Purification of Pyrolyzed Waste Plastics at University of Groningen University of Groningen in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands on the purification of pyrolyzed waste plastics . This project is part of the Purifiy initiative and focuses on removing harmful contaminants from difficult-to-recycle plastic waste streams. The research addresses contaminants such as halogens, metals, and nitrogen compounds , which can cause corrosion, catalyst deactivation, and reduced product quality during pyrolysis. The PhD researcher will investigate contaminant structure an...

PhD position at the University of Twente in the Netherlands on polymer brush coatings for electrochemical processes . The project focuses on developing nanometer-thin polymer coatings (polymer brushes) that can control surface interactions, improve antifouling performance, and enable selective molecular interactions in electrochemical systems. You will design, synthesize, and characterize sustainable and durable coatings, then integrate them into table-top test setups for electrochemical separat...
