Master thesis - Material Development for Implants (f/m/x)

Job Description:

Your Role

* Synthesis of New Materials / Preperation of Copolymers: Conduct carbiocationic polymerization with crosslinking at elevated temperatures to prepare copolymers:
* Route A: Block Copolymer vs. Random Oriented Investigate the properties of block copolymers in comparison to randomly oriented copolymers
* Route B: Variation of Cross-Linker Amount Explore the effect of different cross-linker amounts (2%, 5%, 10%) on the properties of the copolymers
* Purify and characterize the synthesized polymer material using appropriate analytical techniques
* Evaluation of Material Properties o Assess the optical and mechanical properties of the new polymer-based materials. o Evaluate the injectability, ageing, and other relevant properties of the materials to ensure suitability for medical implantable devices

Your Profile

* Skilled and motivated masters student
* Responsible for the synthesis and characterization of a new polymer-based material for medical implantable devices
* Passionate about polymer chemistry and excited about contributing to the development of innovative medical technologies
* Bachelor's degree in Chemistry is mandatory
* Strong analytical and conceptual skills as well as a systematic and goal-oriented approach to solving problems
* High degree of initiative, strong communication skills and a willingness to take responsibility
* Fluency in written and spoken English
* Enjoy working in international teams
