Colloid Chemistry, Nanomaterials, Interfaces - Rheometric analysis and study of structure formation in dispersed systems and nanocomposites
Hochschule
FH Münster University of Applied Sciences
Fachgebiete
Chemical Engineering
Nanoscience
Materials Sciences
Dauer
4-6 months
Deadline
October 1 for spring internship
Supervisor
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Michael Bredol
Projektbeschreibung
Inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in polymers are used for a broad range of applications. In most cases, the interface chemistry between the inorganic component and the polymer is key to understand the microstructure of such composites. On the other hand, many (amphiphilic) polymers are able to develop nanostructures spontaneously. The project will try to follow these and related effects by study of the viscoelastic behaviour of the polymers and nanocomposites.
Aufgaben
The internship will be concerned with polymer and nanocomposite preparation as well as with rheometric and microscopical analys
Anforderungen
Sound skills in lab practice will be necessary, as independent chemical work will be required
A basic understanding of polymers, colloid chemistry and rheology
