A PhD position (Doktorandenstellen ) is available at the Materials Science Department of Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany). The successful candidate will integrate a young research team focusing on the development of new ceramic processes in a dynamic and international work environment.
The drying is a necessary step in the manufacturing of ceramic layers when using particle suspensions. The evaporation of solvent induces shrinkage and stresses in the drying layer, which can create cracks and delamination from the substrate. Experimental work encompasses thin film processing and in-situ measurement of physical and mechanical properties by means of innovative techniques during drying. The experimental data will be used to develop a predictive model of drying.
