7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Polymer Physical Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will focus on investigating the coupling between polyelectrolytes and their counterions. Polyelectrolytes are polymers with ionic groups attached to their chains, accompanied by an equal number of counterions that ensure overall charge neutrality. In a hydrated polyelectrolyte system, these counterions typically dissociate from the polymer chains, and their mobility largely determines key properties such as chain hydration, chain conformation, intermolecular interactions, and transport properties. However, the effective charge density of the polymer chains and the mobility of their counterions can be significantly reduced if the counterions and ionic groups interact strongly enough to form ion pairs.
