biodegradable PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 15 biodegradable PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Development of Biodegradable Fiber-Based Bags for Sustainable Plant Nurture
The need for environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to combat plastic pollution has never been more critical. Plastics, particularly single-use plastic bags, have had a detrimental impact on our ecosystems and contribute to environmental degradation. Read more
Fabrication, Testing and Life Time Prediction of Bio-Based Biodegradable Composites for Aircraft Interior Panels
Although composites provide a great deal of advantages and enhanced characteristics which have driven improvements to their structural and aesthetic applications, there still lie major disadvantages and drawbacks in the recycling of these life limited materials as well as the ecological harm in utilising the petroleum based resins. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Structural effects in alternating biodegradable polymers
Dr Alison Paul Dr Alison Paul - People - Cardiff University is looking for a PhD student to join the Soft Matter Research Group for a project on “Structural effects in alternating biodegradable polymers”. Read more
Developing biodegradable long acting drug delivery systems for the treatment of chronic conditions
Non-adherence to treatment costs the NHS more than £500M each year. Adherence is especially important when treating patients with chronic conditions that require lifetime pharmacological treatment, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, HIV and Alzheimer’s disease. Read more
Investigating proinflammatory and toxicological properties of nano-microparticles (NMP) from different sources of plastic waste and environmental pollution
Research Group:
Biomedical Research Group
Research Group. Biomedical Research Group. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Grisha Pirianov. Dr Dannielle Green. Theme. Biomedicine and Environmental Pollution. Read more
Simulation and optimization of the anaerobic digestion process for the production of renewable energy and valuable compounds from biodegradable wastes
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Design, manufacturing and characterisation of functional and green end-of-life cellulose-based materials (Ref: AE0052)
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship at Imperial College London under the joint supervision of Professors Koon-Yang Lee (Aeronautics) and Julian Jones (Materials) on the development of cellulose-based materials. Read more
Muka Membranes for Water Treatment
Water scarcity has become a global challenge. Approximately 20% of New Zealanders lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Consuming contaminated water can cause severe illness if not properly treated. Read more
LITAC – Bio-Based Fibres of Bacteria-Generated Bioplastics for a Decarbonised Textile Industry
Polyester fibres are the predominant raw material in the textile industry, and so, significantly contribute to global carbon emissions. Read more
Bioelectronic materials
Biodegradable materials are an ideal starting point for implanting in the body because their removal takes place gradually and naturally over time after the implant has served its useful purpose. Read more
Knowledge-based Design of Dental Surfaces to combat Oral Biofilms
This 4-year BBSRC PhD studentship is a collaboration between University of Liverpool & Unilever R&D. Oral diseases are among the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide, affecting an estimated 3.5 billion people. Read more
Sustainable seaweed based gels for audio speaker technologies
In speaker technologies silicone rubber products are used to dampen vibration and direct audio signals to the listener. Silicone is not biodegradable and breaks down slower than plastics. Read more
Design and Development of Green miniaturized wearable Balanced Antenna Arrays for Internet of Things Applications
The advances in wireless networks and electronics have led to the emergence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which are considered to be one of the most important technologies that can revolutionize healthcare systems. Read more
EPSRC supported EngD project. Design and Optimisation of Surface Actives for Sustainable Hygiene Products
Wet wipes, coming in different shapes and forms such as baby wipes, wet towels, antibacterial hand wipes, medical textiles, are essential to our daily life as a practical hygiene and cleaning product. Read more
3D-printed drug-eluting auxetic meshes for preventing biofilm formation and capsular contracture associated with breast implants
This is an exemplar PhD project co-supervised by Dr. Zafer Kazanci (School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) and Prof. Karl Malcolm (School or Pharmacy). Read more
