Phd Student D-carbonize

hace 1 semana

Tarragona, España ICIQ A tiempo completo

The DC will be hosted by a network of highly renowned European experts and leading companies in CO2 catalysis and polymer development, allowing them to perform cutting-edge research in the most innovative environments and with a multidisciplinary spin involving different topics such as homo
- and heterogeneous catalysis, sustainable monomer/macromolecular design, polymer chemistry, thermoplastics, process scalability, depolymerization strategies, process optimization and high-throughput approaches.

The doctoral programs offered within D-Carbonize are funded under Horizon Europe’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme

**Project Title and Description**:
**Title**:
Synthesis of polycarbonates and polyamides using reactive extrusion (REx)

**Description**:
“To demonstrate the feasibility to produce polycarbonates and/or polyamides by using reactive extrusion (REX), which is considered a greener technology being a continuous process, which minimizes and even avoids the use of solvents and also reduces reaction times and overall energy consumption. Alternative monomers capable of being produced from CO2 will be considered to produce those polycarbonates and/or polyamides."
REx has significant value as it is a process that can be easily adapted to an industry infrastructure. The design of these synthetic approaches at AIMPLAS will be addressed considering a broad selection of process parameters and conditions such as residence time, temperature, screw configuration, catalyst type (commercial and developed in the project) in different concentrations and relative ratio of the monomers. The polymers developed will be broadly characterized to evaluate macromolecular, mechanical, thermal and rheological properties, thus, in particular molar mass, intrinsic viscosity, and so on, will be monitored.”

The studies will be started at lab scale in a Haake Minilab Extruder, which will be further evaluated at larger scale in a Brabender rheometer. Technical and economic feasibility has been evaluated in order to test higher scale in twin-screw extruders at pilot plants in AIMPLAS. Additionally, and along the technical viability evaluation of scaling-up, process simulations will be considered by using software such as Ludovic and evaluating the screw designs.

Thus, bearing in mind capabilities and AIMPLAS expertise, a review of the obtained material(s) possibilities will be considered for extrusion, injection process, as well as compounding or suitability towards coating preparation. Technical viability of these possibilities will be discussed to identify needs for further developments. At CNRS, polymerization studies will focus on the design of novel CO2-sourced polycarbonates and/or polyamides, through the synthesis by (co)-polymerization in solution or in bulk, and characterization of the polymers derived from dienyl-lactone platform molecules.

**Enrolment in Doctoral degree**: DC11 will be enrolled in UPV (University Politècnica of València) and URennes (University of Rennes), obtaining two PhD titles, according to a specific agreement between the two universities.
