An experienced researcher is required for an Industry driven project in the development of new nanocomposite materials for medical device applications. The Project will require working with exfoliated two dimensional materials (graphenes, MOS2, BN) and nanoaddtives such as nanoclays, nanotubes and the subsequent production of polymer composites. The research focus will be characterising the properties of nano additives and incorporating them into the selected medical grade polymers by melt processing.
