Offer Description
The research position will take place inside LGP2 (Process Engineering Laboratory for Biorefinery, Bio-based Materials and Functional Printing) in Grenoble (Gières Campus) within the MatBio team (Multi-scale biobased materials). The LGP2 is a mixed research unit (UMR 5518) associating the CNRS and Grenoble INP, certified Quality Safety Environment. LGP2's research work focuses on operations for the converting and valorization of plant biomass such as the biorefinery and the development of…
biosourced materials (paper, cardboard, composites, films, non-wovens) as well as on printing processes for the functionalization of surfaces for smart or communicative materials.
Objective:
To oversee a research project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) – Franco-Swiss programme – involving 10 industrial and academic partners. This Interreg project, known as WIBATTS, aims at manufacturing passive, battery-free RFID tags for the non-visual monitoring of the cold chain in the pharmaceutical and food sectors.
Main activities:
- development of a thermosensitive polymer suited to the application and sensitive to changes in the cold chain
- project leadership, covering both the experimental aspect and project management (meetings with multiple external and internal partners, drafting reports and preparing interim presentations)
- functionalisation of the thermosensitive polymer to adapt it to the LCST
- formulation of thermosensitive polymer solutions or suspensions
- deposition of the polymer onto a surface or in the form of a multilayer coating on a suitable substrate
