comment: About the role Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Sustainable Polymer Thermoplastics and Elastomers to work with Professor Charlotte Williams for a period of up to 24 months. The post is supported by the EPSRC through the Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA). This research project addresses the development of sustainable block polymer thermoplastics and elastomers for eventual use in sectors including transportation, electronics, and resins. These materials will be prepared from renewable monomers, including carbon dioxide, cyclic esters (lactones) and carbonates, epoxides, and anhydrides. These polymers are designed to be functional and maintain high performance over several “recycle-re-use” loops through mechanical recycling. Target polymers include materials comprising polyester and polycarbonate blocks, and take advantage of toughening mechanisms such as strain-induced crystallization and ionomer networks. The use of precision polymer synthesis methods will allow for the evaluation of structure-property relationships, influenced by various factors including polymer molar mass, architecture, and block composition. The research will involve the application of controlled heterocycle ring opening polymerisations and epoxide/carbon dioxide/anhydride ring-opening copolymerisation to prepare new block polymers. The goal is to develop renewably sourced and recyclable block polymers with characteristics of high-performance thermoplastics and elastomers. We seek a candidate interested to join our diverse, multi-disciplinary research team and motivated to work together to solve these important environmental challenges. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are from under-represented groups, including women and candidates from black and ethnic minority communities. Our research team is diverse and inclusive. Find out more about the Williams research and group at: williams group Find out more about…

The Department of Chemistry is committed to equality, and values diversity. Best practice in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion has been core to our design of the SCHEMA Hub and we seek to create a model and culture for inclusive worldleading research regardless of sector. The Department of Chemistry holds an Athena Swan Silver award in recognition of our commitment and success in addressing gender equality. Current areas of focus are on positive and inclusive culture for neurodiversity and disability, as well as departmental culture and values. Research topic This post is part of our Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub which aims to deliver a step change in sustainable chemical and polymer manufacturing in the UK. This research project will apply recent advances in controlled polymerization catalysis to make new oxygenated polymers which function as thermoplastics and elastomers. The research topic involves polymer synthesis, characterization, and property assessment. These materials will be prepared from renewable monomers, including carbon dioxide, cyclic esters (lactones) and carbonates, epoxides, and anhydrides. These polymers are designed to be functional and maintain high performance over several “recycle-re-use”…
