PhD position: "Synthesis and properties of PS-PMMA copolymers containing reversible covalent crosslinks as compatibilizers in blends"

Bio and Soft Matter, IMCN, Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium ;
Dept. of Physics and University Research Center of Ioannina, Institute of Materials Science and
Computing, University of Ioannina, Greece.

This PhD project is part of the European Doctoral Network ‘ReBond’, which involves eight
Universities, five industrial partners et 15 PhD students. By combining the expertise of the
different partners in synthesis, advanced characterization, linear and nonlinear dynamics,
mechanical properties, modelling, and plastic product development and processing, we shall
uncover the underpinning relationships among processing and performance of vitrimer-based
recycled plastics and elastomers.
Within this framework, the specific objectives of this PhD are to compare the classical
compatibilization approach of blends based on the use of copolymers to an approach using
vitrimers, and to investigate the possibility of combining the two approaches. Blends of PS and
PMMA have been chosen as model systems.
This experimental project will involve aspects of polymer synthesis, structural characterization by
scattering techniques, and characterization of the dynamics by rheometry and dielectric
techniques and of the mechanical properties.
The applicant must have a master’s degree in polymer chemistry or physico-chemistry. Good
knowledge in controlled radical polymerization is required. Additional knowledge in polymer
physics or in rheology is a plus.
Applications should be sent by email (a single pdf file containing a detailed CV, a
transcript of marks obtained during the Master, a motivation letter, and the names of two
referees) to: rebond-manager@uclouvain.be

Starting date: 1 st of September 2024 at the latest.
Project duration: 36 Months at UCLouvain (Belgium) and 12 Months at University of Ioannina
(Greece)
