Postdoc Position : Improved Barrier Properties in Polyolefins at Masdar Institute, Abu Dhabi

Improved barrier properties in polyolefins (Job Code: ME-PDSK032013)

Advanced Materials and Multi-functional
Structures (AM2S)
group at Masdar Institute invites applications for the position of “Post‐doctoral Research Fellow” funded by Borouge.
Successful candidate will work in the Institute Center for Energy (iEnergy) and will be based in
Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME)
department. The
proposed approach covers both experimental and modeling aspects of improving
barrier performance of polyolefins. It envisages formulation of material design
principles and the design of new advanced composite materials which will have
superior oxygen barrier performance; these designs will be achieved through the
engineered positioning of different materials and geometric features in hybrid
material systems so as to achieve better barrier properties. For Further information, please see the attachement
