瑞士苏黎世联邦理工大学热塑性纤维预成型复合材料博士后科学家职位
Postdoctoral Scientist in Thermoplastic Fiber Preform Composites
100%, Zurich, temporary
The Laboratory of Composite Materials and Adaptive Structures Groupat ETH Zurich is searching for a postdoctoral researcher in developing novel composite preform materials, in the form of individually coated glass fibers, namely bicomponent fibers. The aim of the position is to advance the understanding of a novel coating processing involving the deposition of thermoplastic matrix material on individual glass fibers for advanced composite preform technologies. We invite candidates with research interests in one or several of the topics of materials science and engineering, chemistry, polymer science with a passion for composite materials and structures.
Project background
Thermoplastic composites offer a wide range of advantages compared to thermosets in terms of recyclability, joining, re-forming abilities and decreased cycle times due to the absence of time-consuming curing reactions. However, thermoplastics exhibit a high melt viscosity limiting fast and cost- efficient processing. Therefore, to make composites accessible to a greater market this disadvantage needs to be overcome. CMASLab is dedicated to expediting the adaptation of sustainable composite materials and processing technologies for applications requiring top material quality. To that end, we are currently developing a novel innovative processing route for high performance fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites which relies on the direct coating of glass fibres. Preforms made from these coated fibres provide numerous advantages for manufacturing at high volume, at large scale, with high fibre volume content, or with highest precision at small scales. Therefore, we are seeking to further develop a systematic understanding of the processing and property behavior, along with promoting an increased sustainability of the existing manufacturing methodologies. These investigations are intended to contribute to the rapid manufacturing and high- volume production of advanced composite preform materials that is competitive with existing market solutions.
