Nanotechnology (polymer) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 16 Nanotechnology (polymer) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Through-thickness reinforcement compatible conductive polymer filaments PhD

Composite through-thickness reinforcement techniques are typically used to bolster through-thickness behaviour, composite’s primary weakness, but the integration of through-thickness elements for embedding electrical and thermal functionality is a fast-growing area of research. Read more

Solid polymer electrolytes for batteries and smart windows PhD

This research aims at development of solid polymer electrolytes for next-generation batteries and electrochromic smart windows. Batteries and smart windows are one of key technologies to improve energy efficiency and enable net-zero economies. Read more

Mono-Material Barrier Films for Sustainable and Circular Plastic Packaging Applications (MonoFilm)

Plastic packaging materials play a crucial role in today's society, offering advantages such as versatility, hygiene, safety, lightweight properties, and, notably, a low carbon footprint when compared to alternative materials. Read more

Novel nanocomposites based on green resin chemistries reinforced with 2D nanofillers and natural fibres

Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship to start in October 2024. About the project. Nanocomposites based on thermosetting resin matrices are one of the most promising lightweight materials to replace metal components and reduce energy and greenhouse gas emissions in the transport industries. Read more

Self-assembly of nanoparticles on thin films and droplets of surfactant-polymer mixes

Many types of nanomaterials rely on the self-assembly process of their corresponding nanoparticles. Soft matter thin films are often used as templates to direct the assembly of the nanoparticles into desired arrangements. Read more

Nanocellulose as a Sustainable Electrolyte for Electrochemical Energy Conversion

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power. Read more

Enhancement of electrical conductivity of carbon fibre composite for resisting lightening strike on aircrafts

In the structure of new advanced civil aircrafts the main fuselage structures are being redesigned to use carbon fibre-reinforced composites (CFRP) mainly due to their lightweight, high specific stiffness and strength. Read more

Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more

Investigating the effect of plastics recycling on nanoplastic production in packaging applications

Nanoplastics, defined as plastic particles measuring less than 1000 nanometres, have emerged as a significant concern due to their ability to infiltrate ecosystems, posing potential risks to the environment. Read more

CNT/cement nanocomposite materials for structural applications for buildings

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with remarkable mechanical and electrical properties have been used for enhancement of mechanical properties of polymer matrix materials but its capability for enhancement of cement based materials has not been widely explored yet. Read more
