Bio-Based 3D-Printable NIPU Adhesives Research Scientist

Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU); España; On-site; EUR 28,000 - 36,000; Full time

Job summary

Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) in Spain seeks a First Stage Researcher (R1) to develop novel bio-based, 3D-printable, multi-stimuli-responsive non-isocyanate polyurethane adhesives. The research aims to reveal how network architecture, hydrogen-bond density, chain mobility, and nanoparticle-induced local heating govern adhesion and debonding.

The project will contribute to advancing reversible NIPU networks and next-generation circular adhesive technologies

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Engineering, or Environmental Science and Technology.

Responsibilities

• Develop novel bio-based, 3D-printable, multi-stimuli-responsive non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) adhesives.
• Elucidate how network architecture, hydrogen-bond density, chain mobility, and nanoparticle-induced local heating affect adhesion, failure, and debonding.

Education

Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Engineering, or Environmental Science and Technology
