The aim of the research is to study a new family of polymeric materials synthesised from Terpenes - molecules present in citrus and other waste. The student will carry out the first characterisation of totally new plastic materials made from renewable sources, and will help to identify and shape possible markets and applications. The student will work in a multidisciplinary environment in collaboration with other PhD and postdoctoral researchers in engineering and chemistry, on the characterisation and the development of experimental techniques for small scale polymer samples, including mechanical, thermal and rheological properties. Materials will be synthesised by collaborators from the Chemistry department in small batches prior to scale-up. By understanding some of the structure-property relationships, feedback can be provided to the synthesis to help to develop better and more targeted materials for specific applications. The project will help to establish Nottingham as a centre of expertise in the development of new polymers. It has direct relevance to two of the Global Research Themes: Sustainable Societies (Industrial Biotechnology) and the Transformative Technologies (Advanced Molecular Materials).

这项研究的目的是研究一种新的聚合物材料家族，这些材料是由萜烯合成的，萜烯分子存在于柑橘和其他废物中。学生将对由可再生资源制成的全新塑料材料进行首次表征，并将帮助识别和塑造可能的市场和应用。学生将在多学科环境中与工程和化学领域的其他博士和博士后研究人员合作，研究小规模聚合物样品的表征和实验技术的开发，包括机械，热和流变性能。材料将由化学系的合作者在扩大规模之前小批量合成。通过了解一些结构-性质关系，可以为合成提供反馈，以帮助开发更好和更有针对性的材料用于特定应用。该项目将有助于将诺丁汉建成新聚合物开发的专业中心。它与两个全球研究主题直接相关：可持续社会（工业生物技术）和变革技术（先进分子材料）。
