Offer Description

This PhD position will be based in Strasbourg (France) at the Institut Charles Sadron, a specific unit of the CNRS recognized worldwide for its expertise in the field of polymer materials and self-assembled systems. The SAMS team, also attached to the University of Strasbourg, is interested in studying and understanding self-assembly processes to lead to the next generation of so-called “intelligent” materials. It has all the human and material resources necessary to carry out the proposed project. For more information on the host team, do not hesitate to consult the website: http://sams.ics-cnrs.unistra.fr/

The position will be located in Strasbourg, France.The proposed doctoral project will be carried out in close collaboration with SOPREMA, a world leader company in the field of building materials, particularly waterproofing, roofing, insulation and roof functionalization, and whose head office and R&D department is located in Strasbourg.

Position Benefits:
- CROUS catering subsidized by the CNRS.
- Easy access to campus by public transportation.
- Partial coverage of public transportation passes.

The MECANO project aims to exploit the opportunities offered by mechanical bonds to improve the properties of polymers. Indeed, many additives are necessary to modify these properties (mechanical, fire resistance, appearance, etc.), but problems related to the migration of these molecules into the material lead to premature aging, environmental, and health issues. The objective of the project is therefore to use mechanical bonds to produce additives mechanically linked to polymer chains in order to reduce their migration and the associated risks.
The methodology associated with this doctoral project will be structured around two areas of work: 1) the synthetic chemistry required to construct polyrotaxanes composed of a polymer axis and intertwined macrocycles, covalently linked to the additives of interest, and 2) the characterization of mechanically interlocked polymers at the (macro-)molecular level.
The multidisciplinary nature of this doctoral project combining fundamental research with an applied science objective requires skills in synthetic organic chemistry, polymer functionalization, and physical chemistry of polymer materials.
