Description
Professor, PhD, DSc, Eng. Dariusz M. Bieliński, V-ce Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry for development, responsible for research and cooperation with industry, is looking for candidates familiar with RUBBERY CHEMISTRY, TECHNOLOGY or ENGINEERING, experienced in laboratory work, with well-documented research activity.
POSSIBLE RESEARCH PROJECTS
- Modification of silica filler surface with selected natural compounds in order either to improve its dispersibility in rubber matrix and enhance polymer-filler interactions or to support curing or improving aging resistance of rubber.
- Low temperature sulfur vulcanization of rubber realized either with polysulfidies or/and fluorine-amine initiators. Synthesis of polysulfides able to effective curing of rubber without surface blooming.
- Hybrid flame retardancy of elastomers using ceramization and/or IR radiation reflection. Influence of fluxing agent and filler/dye system on ceramization ability and flammability of elastomers.
- Elastomers for low temperature applications. Silicone-butadiene rubber blends and their compatibilization. Synthesis of silicone-urea copolymers and low temperature elastomer composites on their basis.
- Any ideas/proposals considering e.g. rubber recycling or management/valorization of rubber waste, as well as functional/smart or bio-elastomer composites are welcome.
WHAT you can expect from us:
- support and guidance during the process of application
- direct contact with the host institution/supervisor
- submission of the call documents
- webinars, meetings, consultations, trainings, solving problems and answering questions, etc.
- advantages from TUL’s partnership in European Consortium of Innovative Universities, and many more.
