Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a Merck / EPSRC CASE studentship, titled “Rapid self-healing polymeric organogelators for electrophoretic type displays”, to prepare and evaluate new copolymers for potential application in Merck’s next generation electronic displays. Merck, an international leading chemical and material company, is a major leader in display technology (including 3D televisions) as well as solar energy. The project will involve synthesis and characterisation of novel polymers and monomers, measurement of gel rheological properties and assessment of structure-property relationships. The performance of the new gelators in electrophoretic type displays will be assessed in collaboration with Merck.
The studentship has a duration of 3.5 years and will be available from July 2012.
