Details
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in physical, inorganic, and materials chemistry. You will work in the research group of Professor Dmitry Shchukin at the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy, Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool. This project is a joint UK and US (NSF) funded initiative focused on ultrasonic manufacturing to synthesize hemicellulose-based functional polymers. The project involves ultrasound-driven generation of hemicellulose dispersions with controlled colloid dimensions, followed by polycondensation with 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and other plant-based monomers. FDCA-based polyesters closely resemble petroleum-based PET in thermal and mechanical properties. Additionally, the project includes encapsulating active materials using ultrasonication methods for targeted sustainable bioplastics.
