Combining computation, information and experiment for polyurethane foams

Building on earlier work studying the detailed mechanisms of the processes leading to polymer formation, the AWE is sponsoring a project to develop a fuller model for the formation of polyurethane foams.

Working in the research group of Jonathan Goodman in the chemistry department at Cambridge, the student must have a good knowledge of organic chemistry and an interest in computational methods. For more information, contact Jonathan Goodman as soon as possible.
