**Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us**:
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.
In 2024, LIST and GOODYEAR signed the second phase of their partnership, 2024-2029, building on the outcomes of their previous collaboration and entering new technological areas as well. GOODYEAR-LIST partnership 2.0 embraces Luxembourg's National priorities, such as Sustainability, Digital transformation and Circular economy, through the execution of six Strategic Research Programs: Data Science for Tires, Tire as a Sensor, End-of-Life Tire Valorization, Sustainable Materials for Non-Pneumatic Tires, Sustainable Materials for Next Generation of Pneumatic Tires, Structure-Process-Properties Relationships.
As part of it, we are currently looking for a Researcher in novel sustainable polymers.
**How will you contribute?**:
The primary objective of the Industrial Partnership Block Grant (IPBG) “Future tire technologies for sustainable mobility” is to improve the understanding, performance and sustainability of materials and processes used in future tire technologies. A future tire, as a highly complex composite material, needs to fulfil a wide range of performance criteria that cannot be achieved without expertise in chemistry and physics.
Today, synthetic tire elastomers are petroleum-based. The main classes of synthetic elastomers used in tires are polybutadiene, styrene-butadiene copolymers, and synthetic polyisoprene. Butadiene and styrene have emerged as the monomers of choice for the synthesis of high-performance elastomers for tires and a large variety of such elastomers is available on the market. The push for sustainable tire elastomers is currently for the most part geared towards providing sustainable sources of butadiene and styrene monomers. Those efforts are well under way in the synthetic rubber industry today and, indeed, the push towards sustainability will also redefine the economic and availability equation for potential sustainable monomers. However, current efforts will result in exactly the same polymers as are available today on the market, but just from a sustainable source. In contrast to this, this particular project is focused on the alternative approaches to sustainable polymers which will not exclusively rely on the standard monomers: styrene and butadiene, but will involve copolymerization of new bio-based or recycled monomers and modification of isoprene-based elastomers.
In this context, we are looking for an experienced researcher that is expected to strongly contribute to an ambitious project through the development of a high-end research in the:
Screening of a wide variety of new sustainable monomers as to their ability to be cost-effectively sourced from sustainable sources, their ability to undergo successful random copolymerization with dienes such as butadiene, and their ability to affect elastomer properties;
Investigation of butadiene and isoprene copolymerization with monomers derived from terpenes (olefins and conjugated dienes), phenylpropanoids (styrenic type) and arylisoprenes (phenyl isoprene type) families;
- Performing of anionic, coordination, radical and ring-opening metathesis (co)polymerization of target monomers;
- Synthesis of organometallic catalysts for coordination and ring-opening metathesis polymerization;
- Characterization of novel rubbers by techniques including NMR and IR spectroscopy, GPC, DSC, TGA, DMTA, AFM and TEM;
- Compounding of elastomers, their curing and final rubber testing.
**Education**
PhD degree in Organometallic Chemistry (preferred), Synthetic Organic Chemistry or Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry
**Experience and skills**
**Mandatory**:
- Strong background and extensive hands-on experience in synthetic organometallic chemistry (preferably on Ru, Pt, Pd, Ni, Ti, Co, Fe, etc. catalysts);
- Strong background and extensive hands-on experience in organic synthetic chemistry;
- Experience with standard wet
- and air-sensitive chemistry techniques;
- Knowledge and experience in rubber compounding and processing;
- Experience in use of modern characterization techniques such as FT-IR, GPC, DSC, TGA;
- Ability to analyze NMR spectra (obligatory ());
- Knowledge of Chemdraw or similar software for drawing and analyzing of chemical structures;
- The ability to work creatively and independently, including experience in writing research reports, giving oral talks and performing scientific literature search.
**Desirable**:
- Demonstrated competencies in coordination polymerization will be highly valued;
- Previous experience in anionic polymerization
