The new STARS call for PhD positions has been launched
Deadline for Applications March 13th 2020 The STARS program provides fully funded PhD positions to ensure an excellent education and an adequate income to PhD students of the Faculty of …
Amphiphilic polymer solutions under confinement: the interplay and competition of entropic, enthalpic and hydrodynamic interactions; computer simulation study.
Project supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Zuzana Limpouchová The copolymer behavior in a physically confined environment is influenced not only by the competition of entropy to enthalpy of chains as in homogenous …
Stimuli-responsive polymers. Dissipative particle dynamics study of the modification of properties and architectures of co-assembled polyelectrolyte nanostructures by introduction of functionalized groups.
Project supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Zuzana Limpouchová Amphiphilic copolymers and polyelectrolytes respond to external stimuli and form various nanostructures in complex aqueous solutions containing other species. Chemical modification of hydrophilic, hydrophobic …
Complex polyelectrolyte solutions (mesoscopic simulations of their electrostatic assembly and their interaction with surfaces)
Project supervisor: Prof. Karel Procházka Polyelectrolytes and especially the amphiphilic polyelectrolyte copolymers are important water-soluble multi-stimuli-responsive polymers. While the commodity polyelectrolytes meet the requirements for cheap, environment friendly, and non-toxic …
Computer-based research offered to B.Sc., Mgr. and PhD students and to postdocs
Project supervisor: Prof. Karel Procházka Computer-based simulations aimed at the elucidation and molecular interpretation of phase equilibria and the conformational behavior of frustrated polymers under confinement, and at the understanding …
