Master Student Internship in adhesive bonding/debonding (M/F)

Référence : MRT-2020-Intern-017

Type: Stagiaire
Type de contrat: Stage
Durée: 6 months
Lieu de travail: Hautcharage

Contexte

 

Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) Department with is 170 researchers and engineers, to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on three thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, sustainable composite materials and manufacturing and process technologies, including scientific instrumentation. Interfaces in composites play a key role in many areas such as automotive sector, technical textiles. Adhesive bonding is a viable technique for joining a wide range of materials (e.g. metals, polymers, ceramics, etc., and combinations of any of these materials). However, one disadvantage of adhesive bonding is the permanent character of the joint. In many situations, it is desirable that the joint can be separated so that the materials can be reused on a qualitatively high level.

 

Description

 

Adhesive bonding is a viable technique for joining a wide range of materials (e.g. metals, polymers, ceramics, etc., and combinations of any of these materials). However, one disadvantage of adhesive bonding is the permanent character of the joint. In many situations, it is desirable that the joint can be separated so that the materials can be reused on a qualitatively high level. Due to the significant pressure on reducing costs and increasing demand for material recyclability, the development of new

techniques and processes for easy recycle bonded structures is becoming of great interest for the industry. The objective of this internship is to participate to the development of new technology for adhesive debonding.

  • Optimizing the current formulations of debonding treatments for adhesive bonding on existing technologies at LIST
  • Development of new formulations for adhesive debonding application
  • Mechanical, thermal and morphological characterisation

Concerning the project follow-ups, it will be asked to prepare powerpoint presentations that will be regularly updated with new results. Last, 3 reports (state of the art, intermediate report and final report) will have to be prepared.
