PhD Research in Sustainable Composite Materials
6 days ago
The University of Nottingham is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join its Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Composites Manufacturing. This prestigious four-year program offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research addressing the challenges of sustainable manufacturing within the field of fibre-reinforced polymer composites.
The successful candidate will be immersed in a dynamic research environment, collaborating with leading academics and benefiting from world-class facilities.
Project Focus:This PhD project centers on the innovative concept of repurposing waste materials generated during composites manufacturing into new components. The research will delve into optimizing the performance of discontinuous fibre composites to achieve strengths comparable to those achieved with continuous fibre reinforcement.
Key Objectives:- Maximize material performance through strategic design and processing techniques.
- Minimize material variability to ensure consistent and reliable product quality.
- Identify diverse applications for these second-generation materials, expanding their potential impact across various industries.
To be considered for this exciting opportunity, applicants should possess:
- A minimum of a 2:1 Master's degree in a relevant engineering or physical science discipline.
- Demonstrated experience in composites and manufacturing processes.
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
