The PhD is in collaboration with Fibercore (https://www.fibercore.com), a company with a research centre in Southampton producing specialist optical fibre products. The properties of specialist optical fibres critically depend on the formulation and application of applied polymer coatings. Indeed, their functional characteristics are dictated by the nature of the coating, which in turn is governed by its structure and the constituents used in the polymerisation process. The project will draw on our combined expertise in organic chemistry and fibre technology to provide solutions to a broad range of coating issues that Fibercore has identified. These include:The development of a new class of UV transparent coatingsHow changes to resin formulation impact the function and response of optical fibresThe development of coatings that can withstand extreme environmentsImportantly, the geographical proximity of the partners will facilitate regular collaborative meetings and provide opportunities to use the state-of-the-art facilities available at Fibercore. It will deliver topical, multidisciplinary training within a highly supportive research and training environment, together with industrial experience. In addition, it will benefit from association with SmartT, a 6M EU funded collaboration supported by the ERDF through its Interreg V programme.

该博士是与Fibercore(https://www.fibercore.com)，)合作的，Fibercore是一家在南安普敦设有研究中心的公司，生产专业光纤产品。特种光纤的性能在很大程度上取决于所应用的聚合物涂层的配方和应用。事实上，它们的功能特性由涂层的性质决定，而涂层的性质又由其结构和聚合过程中使用的成分决定。该项目将利用我们在有机化学和纤维技术方面的综合专业知识，为Fibercore确定的一系列涂层问题提供解决方案。其中包括：开发新型UV透明涂料树脂配方的变化如何影响光纤的功能和响应开发能够承受极端环境的涂料重要的是，合作伙伴的地理位置接近将促进定期合作会议，并提供使用Fibercore提供的最先进设施的机会。它将在一个高度支持性的研究和培训环境中提供专题、多学科的培训，并提供行业经验。此外，它还将受益于与Smartt的合作，Smartt是欧盟资助的一个600万欧元的合作项目，由ERDF通过其Interreg V计划提供支持。
