Department „Materials Protection and Surface Technology“ BAM – Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany
Ph.D. student position „Adhesion and mechanics of polymerfilms
Closing date: May 4th, 2009
Experiments will deal with the influence of the polymer-substrate-adhesion on the mechanical properties of thin polymer layers. They will comprise different sample preparations, in order to vary the adhesion between the
polymer film and the substrate, the application of various methods for the quantitative estimation of the adhesion, and the analysis of the mechanical properties of the polymer thin films via force-distance-curves, in order to
determine quantitatively the influence of the adhesion. The scheduled experiments have important theoretical implications in the field of confined polymers. Moreover, this subject is also very relevant for possible
applications in the field of adhesives and coatings.
Preference will be given to applicants (M.Sc./Diploma) in Physics, Chemistry or related fields. Experience with scanning probe microscopy, surface preparation and analysis, polymer physics and chemistry are advantageous.
A basic knowledge of German language would be appreciated, English is required.
The supervisor of the PhD work will be Priv. Doz. Dr. habil. Brunero Cappella.
