Multi-Shape-Changing Interpenetrating Networks with Shape Memory and Adaptive Plasticity Transitions,
Shape-changing materials with precisely programmable configurations, each having its own functional regime, provide a wide range of applications in engineering and biomedical fields. Polymers with dynamic reversible covalent/non-covalent bonding feature the potential of having remarkable plasticity, which endows them with the capability of undergoing significant and sophisticated shape changes. Here we report a facile method to build an interpenetrating network (IPN) structure with plastic deformation and shape memory properties.
Postdoc position at University of Glasgow (Deadline 14th February 2022)
A short 5-month postdoc position is available in my Computational Biomechanics Research Group at the University of Glasgow. The project is aimed at combining image segmentation with biomechanical calculations and requires experience in scientific code development and nonlinear biomechanics.
Interested candidates can apply via https://my.corehr.com/pls/uogrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=076448 and the deadline is 14th February 2022.
