項目介紹
搪瓷是聚合物化學領域的突破性發展。這類新的聚合物既不是熱固性的也不是熱塑性的,而是繼承了這兩種聚合物的特性。可以想像有許多應用,但是在玻璃纖維增強的複合材料中,作為聚合物基體的三聚體的應用特別吸引人,因為可以大大改善纖維增強的複合材料的回收利用。
在該項目中,將使用微晶矽製造和表徵微晶矽複合材料。UGent-MMS在這個擁有強大工業聯盟的大型研究項目上擁有3年的博士學位空缺。目的是通過結合多種實驗測試方法來製造和表徵微晶複合物的熱機械性能。這些測試應與專用的儀器方法相結合,以提供有關熱塑性複合材料加工特性和熱機械性能的寶貴見解。
About the Project
Vitrimers are a groundbreaking development in polymer chemistry. This new class of polymers is neither thermoset, nor thermoplastic, but inherits properties from both polymer classes. Many applications can be imagined, but the application of vitrimers as the polymer matrix in fibre-reinforced composites, is particularly attractive, because the recycling of fibre-reinforced composites could be drastically improved.
In this project, vitrimers will be applied to manufacture and characterize vitrimer composites. UGent-MMS has a PhD vacancy for 3 years on this large research project with a strong industrial consortium. The purpose is to manufacture and characterize the thermomechanical behaviour of vitrimer composites, by combining a diverse set of experimental testing methods. Those tests should be combined with dedicated instrumentation methods to provide valuable insights into the processing characteristics and thermomechanical behaviour of thermoplastic composites.
