Position Description

Job 1

Study of the mechanical properties, microstructure and ionic conductivity of composite systems consisting of colloidal suspensions or gels with composite electrolytes of low molecular weight doped liquid poly(ethylene glycol). Experiments will include combined rheo-imaging, scattering and conductivity measurements.

Job 2

Use of shear and flow history protocols to control and tune the microstructure and macroscopic properties of thixotropic, metastable colloidal gels. Interplay between thermodynamic phase equilibrium and metastability will be explored. Experiments will include combined rheo-imaging and scattering.
