Postdoc Position – Microelectronic Applications: Join PROTAVIC INTERNATIONAL in collaboration with the Department of MacroMolecular Chemistry and Materials (C3M) at ICGM for a groundbreaking project in the development of environmentally friendly UV-curable resins. The aim is to replace petro-based epoxy resins with biobased alternatives, focusing on their application in the assembly of electronic micro-modules.
Postdoc Position – Synthesis of Biobased UV-Curable Resins for Microelectronic Applications
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Synthesis of Biobased UV-Curable Resins for Microelectronic Applications
