Based at the University of Manchester and delivered in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Waters-TA Instruments, this interdisciplinary project will focus on developing robust, practical tools to assess and predict recyclate quality. The work will involve thermal analysis (e.g. DSC, TGA), rheology, mechanical testing, and molecular characterisation, with the goal of identifying property-performance relationships and generating datasets suitable for quality prediction.
The project includes placements at NPL and Waters-TA Instruments, with opportunities to work in state-of-the-art facilities in Wilmslow (UK) and Delaware (USA).
Applicants should have, or expect to achieve, at least a 2.1 honours degree or a master’s (or international equivalent) in a relevant science or engineering related discipline.
This project is in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), a world-leading centre of excellence that provides cutting-edge measurement science, engineering and technology to underpin prosperity and quality of life in the UK.
