The aim of this one year post-doc (renewable) is to develop the synthesis of weak bonds embedded in macrocycles at varying locations. These "tethered" weak bonds will then be inserted into polymer networks. This post-doc involves thus strong components in organic and polymer synthesis. The rheological and mechanical properties of the obtained materials will be characterized in depth by the partners of this project which is funded through the FNRS-FWO Excellence of Science (EOS) program.
The researcher will have access to the expertise developed in the bio and soft matter division of the IMCN research institute (https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/imcn/bsma) as well in the research groups of the partners involved in this project (KULeuven_SMART, KULeuven-cMACS, ULiège-TPC, ULiège-NanoChem, ESPCI Paris-PSL, University of Manchester).
Starting date: as soon as possible
Applicationsshould be sent by email (a single pdf file containing a detailed CV with full publication and conference list, a motivation letter, a short summary of previous research, and the names and contact details of at least two references).
