Intelligent and Adaptive Supramolecular Materials: Impact of Reversible Bonds on Quasi-static and Dynamic Mechanical Performance

This doctoral thesis project will aim to understand the role that various supramolecular interactions can have on the mechanical performance of polymeric materials.

First and foremost, it will be necessary to design new supramolecular formulations with a view to developing materials that are intelligent and adaptive due to their dynamic nature. For example, hybrid or nanocomposite materials consisting of a polymer interacting with surface-modified nanoparticles will be considered in this project. The best candidates will then be mechanically evaluated over a wide range of strain rates (from quasi-static to dynamic) and for different loadings (tension, compression, shear) to determine the factors governing the dynamic behavior of these new materials.
