EMPA is an interdisciplinary research and service organization in materials science and technological development in the ETH domain. The work will focus on the development of nano-particles modified fiber reinforced polymer composite by modifying the system of nano-particles, especially carbon nanotubes (CNT). The Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering seeks to strengthen the development of composite materials and provides a
Postdoc position in carbon nanotube composites based. The project, led by the candidate is to improve the resin dominated properties of fiber composites, such as ILS, tenacity and resilience. The work includes aspects such as the functionalization of charges, problems with processing and characterization of nano-macro scale. The position is immediately available and the anticipated project duration of three years.
