PhD Open Position : Valorization of mixture of diols and diacids through the synthesis of PE-like polyesters – LCPO, Bordeaux (25/03/2024)
This Ph.D. project is inscribed within a "HORIZON European Project” called ACTPAC (“A Complete Transformation PAth for C-C backboned plastic wastes to high-value Chemicals and materials”). ACTPAC proposes a complete value-added industry-viable path to convert PE...
PhD position: Fatigue of rubbers exposed to high-pressure hydrogen – Institut PPRIME, Poitiers (25/03/2024)
The decompression failure of rubbers used for high-pressure hydrogen storage, and some aspects of diffuso- mechanical couplings, have been investigated for a few years. However, their fatigue properties in this specific environment are still unknown. Few laboratories...
PhD Offer : Sarcosine as building block for the development of novel polymers – ICS, Strasbourg (17/03/2024)
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is widely used in the biomedical field as a laxative, but also for the modification of drugs, proteins, polymers and inorganic nanoparticles to increase their hydrophilicity and prolong their circulation in the bloodstream, thus promoting...
Thèse CIFRE : Éco-conception de microcapsules biodégradables à cœur liquide à partir de nouveaux agents de réticulation – IMM, Le Mans et CAPSULÆ (17/03/2024)
Contexte – La microencapsulation trouve des applications dans de nombreux secteurs industriels parmi lesquels la détergence, le textile, la cosmétique, ou encore la santé. Elle permet d’apporter des solutions aux besoins exprimés par les industriels en termes de...
PhD Offer : Synthesis of sustainable functional elastomers – CP2M, Lyon and Michelin (17/03/2024)
Our group is involved in a research collaboration with Michelin tyre company for more than 25 years. The knowledge gained over the years on the copolymerization of ethylene and butadiene via coordination-insertion led to a new class of elastomers called...
Doctoral contract : Crystallization and Entanglement of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene – CP2M, Lyon (17/03/2024)
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UH) is an exceptional material with a molecular weight exceeding one million g/mol, endowing it with remarkable physical properties. Due to its outstanding physical properties (high resistance to abrasion, impact and fatigue)...
PhD position : Design of binary mixture of isotropic and anisotropic bio-based colloids – IMP, Saint-Etienne (17/03/2024)
Colloids present a rich landscape of nano-objects, varying in shape and density, which provide numerous opportunities for adjusting the rheological properties of colloidal suspensions. They can be classified according to their form factor and their softness. Colloid...
PhD position : Coupling radical and catalytic plastic cracking : Unveiling mechanisms towards better recyclability – CP2M, IFPEN, Lyon (13/03/2024)
As plastic waste defines the Anthropocene, efforts towards the development of recycling technology are ramping up. For polyolefins (PO), common packaging materials, the available technologies of mechanical recycling and of pyrolysis (thermal conversion) have several...
PhD Doctorate Thesis : Synthesis and characterization of biobased and biocompatible ionic gels and ionoelastomers for piezoionic skin and ionotronics – LPPI, Cergy, University of British Columbia, Canada (10/03/2024)
The objective of this 3-years PhD project at LPPI (https://lppi.cyu.fr/) is the development of new air-stable and biocompatible ionic gels and ionoelastomers, based on biobased materials suitable for contact with human skin, for applications such as piezoionic skin...
PhD Doctorate Thesis : Vascular stent design instrumented by 3D printing and optimized by mechanicalbiological simulation – IRDL, Brest (10/03/2024)
The cardiovascular stent is considered in the treatment of coronary artery disease, a pathology of the coronary arteries that impacts 25% of the population. The objective of this thesis is to design and manufacture tubular or atypical stents such as bifurcations from...
