PhD Position in Sustainable Additive Systems for Enhanced Rubber Durability (Materials Science, Chemistry, Polymer Engineering) University of Twente in Netherlands

A postdoctoral research position is available in the group of Professor Ica Manas-Zloczower at Case Western Reserve University. The project focuses on thermoset recycling through vitrimerization and dynamic crosslinking, with the goal of transforming conventional thermosets into recyclable dynamic networks. This is a strong opportunity for researchers interested in polymer science, materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Eligible candidates should hold a Ph.D. in polymer science ...

PhD position at Eindhoven University of Technology on sustainable photocatalysis for plastic recycling. The project addresses the chemical recycling of persistent plastics by developing light-driven strategies that convert polymer waste into valuable chemical building blocks under mild conditions. The research combines photocatalytic and photothermal approaches with the design of novel organic photocatalysts. The project also includes theoretical modelling and AI-based tools in collaboration wit...

This PhD project at the University of Liverpool's School of Engineering offers an exciting opportunity to advance the science of product formulation through innovative, data-driven approaches. The research focuses on polymer-surfactant systems, aiming to discover new design rules by leveraging automated rheo-dialysis and advanced scattering techniques. You will develop and implement open-loop automated screening methods to systematically investigate the structure, composition, and flow propertie...

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...
