Offer Description

Position is funded by a grant from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR). In this project, are focused on an “upcycling” approach in which polymers are transformed into dynamic polymer networks by reactive processing, which is a solvent-free and industrially-relevant technique. The resulting materials typically offer an unusual yet compelling combination of properties—they behave like thermosets at use temperatures but flow at processing temperatures. This project is dedicated to elaborating and exemplifying new chemistries in this field. In addition to the synthesis of new reactive additives, this project will focus on the elucidation of the radical mechanism that is governing the grafting by using many techniques such as EPR, DFT Calculations, etc.
