Post-doc for Mesoscopic Modeling of Autonomous Repair of Polymer Networks

Submitted by Erik Van der Giessen on

Are you interested in contributing to the development of a totally new concept of self-healing in polymer networks? The Micromechanics group at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) is offering a post-doc position for the development of coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics and/or novel mesoscopic models of polymer networks with dormant polymerization catalysts. The modeling work will be done concurrently with experimental research in the chemistry department of the university of Eindhoven.
