PhD in Materials and Engineering Science: Processing of Smart Porous Electro-Ceramic Transducers
Ferroelectrics are an important class of electro-active materials. Their piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties make them vital materials for SONAR, pressure sensors/ accelerometers, energy harvesting, thermal imaging/sensing, and non-destructi...
PhD: DESIGN OF SMART MAGNETIC CERAMIC INK FOR 3D PRINTING
Deadline for application May 29, 2020, 2 pm, CET
Magnetic ceramics have been attracting considerable interest due to their wide range of applications. These span the whole field of magnetic screening, magnetic data storage, chokes, sensors and devices based on magnetoelectric coupling in multife...
Master internship 5 months between February 2020 and July 2020 on modeling of the functional properties of ceramics with core-shell structure.
Ceramics with core-shell structure have been in development in the past years for very diverse applications because they allow to obtain combinations of properties that can not be obtained with conventional ceramics. We will first look at dielectr...
