[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Blistering Across Scales

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
This project seeks to uncover the fundamental principles that govern blister formation in thin elastic structures. Blisters appear in a remarkable range of contexts, from voids that undermine the reliability of advanced semiconductor devices to the delamination of thin composite layers under compression.
