Scope of the Thesis

  • Exploration of novel surface-treatment and functionalization methods for technical textiles
  • Benchmarking new approaches against currently used textile-treatment methods
  • Evaluating rubber-to-textile adhesion using strap-peel testing
  • Characterization of treated textiles and rubber-textile interfaces using analytical methods such as FTIR, SEM, TGA, DSC, and EDX
  • Elucidation of the underlying chemical, physical, and mechanical adhesion mechanisms

About the Ideal Candidate

The candidate should be pursuing a Master’s degree in:

- Chemical Engineering/Material Science

- A related discipline

 

and will have strengths in:

  • Applying analytical methods for material characterization
  • Independently planning, conducting, and evaluating laboratory test series
  • Connecting analytical findings with rubber-to-textile adhesion performance 


Previous experience with technical textiles, surface treatments and elastomers is advantageous.


Work Location and Flexibility

On-site presence is required for experimental laboratory work. Data analysis, literature review, documentation, and thesis writing may be performed remotely, subject to agreement with the supervisor.
