We have an open PhD position as MSCA Fellow in the FibReLoop project (see full description of this project at the end of this post). This position will be hosted by the Composite Materials Group at KU Leuven (www.composites-kuleuven.be). The title is: Recycling and re-using continuous carbon fibres from filament-wound Elium products
You can find full details and how to apply here: https://fibreloop.polimi.it/?page_id=2.
Vitrimers are a groundbreaking development in polymer chemistry. This new class of polymers is neither thermoset, nor thermoplastic, but inherits properties from both polymer classes. Vitrimers were "invented" by Prof. Leibler in Paris in 2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrimers).
Many applications can be imagined, but the application of vitrimers as the polymer matrix in fibre-reinforced composites, is particularly attractive, because the recycling of fibre-reinforced composites could be drastically improved.
This position is strictly for experienced candidates and is located at our Global R&T Centre in Kennesaw GA. Please get in touch with me if this role matches your experience. Job Description
