About this position
Two PhD opportunities are available in sustainable functional elastomer nanocomposites at the International Institute for Nanocomposites Manufacturing (IINM), WMG, University of Warwick. The projects focus on next-generation soft materials for thermal management, combining polymer chemistry, network design, biomass-derived functional nanomaterials, phase-change materials, and self-healing elastomers.
The first project is Biomass-derived Functional Nanomaterials for Phase-change Thermal Management. The second is Self-healing and Thermal Conductive Elastomers modified with Biomass-derived Nanomaterials. Both projects are framed by the broader push toward Net Zero and aim to develop sustainable and circular materials with tailored thermal and structural properties.
The announcer is Professor Chaoying Wan, Professor of Polymer Nanocomposites at the University of Warwick. The post indicates that candidates should have a background in chemistry, polymer science, chemical engineering, or physical chemistry, and should be highly motivated to work on fundamental science with real-world impact.
The starting date is stated as Oct 2026 or Feb 2027. The post does not specify stipend, tuition coverage, or other funding details, but it references the Net2Zero EPSRC and BBSRC CDT in Negative Emission Technologies for Net Zero at the University of Warwick. Interested applicants should review the linked project pages and contact the supervisor with relevant background and research interests.
