PhD Position in the field of thermoplastic elastomer-based sensors with ceramic fillers
For a fundamental project, funded by Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), we are looking for a highly motivated student with a strong background in 3D printing of thermoplastic elastomer. The project focus is on the development of sensorized soft structures. The focus of the project is the development of thermo- and chemoresponsive thermoplastic elastomers to be able to print a multi-sensing structure. The project is in collaboration with EPFL.
- Explore and develop thermo- and thermoresponsive sensor materials
- Rheological analysis of the composites for printing applications
- Explore analytic methods to demonstrate thermo- and chemoresonsive properties of the sensor materials
- Development and investigation of multi-sensing structures by a multi-material printing process
- Chemical and physical polymer analysis methods to better understand the sensor behavior of the materials
