About the Project

Scholarships available for UK/EU citizens to do research on the novel 3D nanoprinting technique. The combination of electrospinning with 3D printing technology opens new pathways for nano- and microfabrication, which can be applied in a wide range of application. This project will investigate the production of controlled shapes using different polymers at different temperatures. The effect of charging using different polymers with a variety of additives will be tested. The temperature and humidity control will be crucial, as the 3D nanosctructures are formed in a drying process. The fabricated nanostructed large (over 10 cm in diameter) objects will be investigated for health applications (e.g. artificial skin or tissue engineering scaffold).

Funding Notes

Minimum entry qualification – a First Class degree (or International equivalent) in materials science, chemical engineering or physics discipline, possibly supported by an MSc degree. Experience in nanotechnology and their characterization techniques is a plus, but not essential. Experience with CAD software is essential. Only UK/EU citizens are eligible to apply.

Applications are welcomed from self-funded students, or students who are applying for scholarships from the University of Edinburgh or elsewhere.
