PhD Opening in Ceramic-Based Materials for Safer and Lighter Protection Systems Eindhoven University of Technology in Netherlands

University of Twente is offering a full-time PhD position on the development of micro-abrasive resistant tire treads, with a focus on understanding and reducing tire wear. The project addresses the environmental impact of tire-road interaction, where rubber particles are emitted into the environment and may pose pollution and health risks. The research aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of tire wear from a tribological perspective and support the design of next-generation tire compounds w...

University of Twente is advertising a PhD position in micro-abrasive resistant tire treads and tire wear , focused on understanding the mechanisms behind tire-road interaction and reducing rubber particle emissions. The project takes a novel tribological perspective on wear behavior and aims to support the development of better elastomer compounds with lower wear rates. The position is based in the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET) at the University of Twente and is carried out in cooperati...
