We have 25 Physical Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in Manchester
Functional Antifouling Electroactive Interfaces for Electrochemical Biosensing
Information on this PhD research area can be found further down this page under the details about the Widening Participation Scholarship given immediately below. Read more
Catalytic recycling of polyester plastics to monomers
Plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, finding widespread applications due to possessing optimal physical and chemical properties. Read more
Development of ceramic thermal and environmental barrier coatings for high temperature applications
Research Group:
Coatings and Ceramics
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
Computational design of tailored open-shell conjugated systems
To be successful, organic electronics devices must be able to replicate and surpass the capabilities of conventional silicon-based electronics. Read more
Combinatorial Discovery of Peptide Materials as Ice Binding Protein Mimics
Ice Binding Proteins (IBPs) help extremophiles survive in the worlds coldest environments, but are also used by microorganisms to damage hosts by promoting ice formation. Read more
Viral-surface interactions studied by vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more
Understanding and preventing the denaturation of proteins on surfaces in manufacture, storage and delivery of biotherapeutics
Protein and peptide therapeutics are pharmaceutical drug treatments derived from natural sources. They are applied to a range of diseases from diabetes to novel cancer therapies. Read more
Peptide controlled growth of photoactive lead halide perovskite materials for solar and photodetector applications
Lead halide perovskites have shown tremendous promise as materials for novel photovoltaics with exceptionally high efficiencies and low cost manufacture, but their application is limited due to the inherent stability of the materials. Read more
Biocatalytic Synthesis and Degradation of Organosilicon Compounds
In synthetic chemistry, there has been increasing prominence in the use of engineered enzymes to execute chemical transformations. Read more
Environmentally strategic decommissioning of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors led by life cycle assessment
This project will apply environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic life cycle costing (LCC) to some of the key problems presented by decommissioning activities. Read more
Selective Extraction of Radiotherapeutic Metals for Targeted Alpha Cancer Therapy
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear fission produces radioactive isotopes that are considered as waste and are currently disposed. Read more
Using Natural Language Processing and molecular simulations to build polymer databases
A fully funded PhD position in multiscale modelling of polymer composites is available in the group of Professor Carbone at the University of Manchester from October 2024. Read more
Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies into Enzymatic Degradation of Waste Plastics
Plastics are a broad range of solid polymeric materials that have found widespread application globally. However, there has been a steady accumulation of discarded plastics and there is now growing awareness that they present a significant hazard to the natural environment and human health. Read more
