Nano-morphology characterisation of complex hierarchical polymers systems

您将在先进的扫描电子显微镜技术，率先在谢菲尔德，提取结构和化学信息的多个长度尺度，包括纳米尺度。您的项目主要集中在天然材料（例如蜘蛛丝）上，旨在通过实验电子光谱和模拟光谱（从Monte Carlo建模获得）和机械测试的组合来提取局部机械性能。您的工作预计将提供构建机械模型所需的输入，以促进天然材料的逆向工程，从而提供具有出色和可靠工程特性的新型材料。

You will be in advancing scanning electron microscopy techniques, pioneered in Sheffield, to extract structural and chemical information on multiple length scales including the nano-scale. Your project is predominantly focused on natural materials (e.g. spider silk) aiming to extract local mechanical properties through a combination experimental electron spectroscopy and simulated spectra (obtained from Monte Carlo Modelling) and mechanical testing. Your work is expected to deliver inputs required for building mechanical models that facilitate the reverse engineering of natural materials in order to deliver novel materials with outstanding and reliable engineering properties.
