Mechanical Engineering (materials chemistry) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 145 Mechanical Engineering (materials chemistry) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Advancements in Additive Manufacturing for Sustainable Materials

In this research project, we aim to explore the intersection of additive manufacturing (AM) and sustainability, offering an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about shaping the future of manufacturing. Read more

PhD Studentship in Structural Battery Electrodes

Structural batteries, or structural materials that possess the ability to store and deliver electrical energy, could play a pivotal role in decarbonising challenging industries such as aviation, by integrating the power source within, say, the aeroplane fuselage itself. Read more

Investigation into the Impact of Material Properties on the Gas Transport Behaviour of Polyolefin Materials

The sustainable use of polymeric materials is underpinned by ensuring long service life in all industries and applications. Understanding durability requires research into the effects of both manufacturing methods and environmental storage conditions on the material properties and performance over time. Read more
