Designation/Position- Post Doctoral Fellow Position at Thapar
Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala, Punjab invites application for Post Doctoral Fellow Position at Thapar from eligible and interested candidates
About- Professor, Dept of Biotechnology, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala, Punjab
Research/Job Area- Materials engineering and technology
Location- Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, Punjab.
Eligibility/Qualification–
Ph.D. in the field of materials engineering and technology (especially composite/ceramic materials/2D Materials with a minimum of 02 research papers in SCI journals in relevant areas).
Job/Position Description-
| Sponsor | TIET-VT Centre of Excellence in Emerging Materials (CEEMS) |
| Project Title | Synergetic effect of MXene and Zircon in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy nanocomposites for superior mechanical properties and tribological performance |
| Project Description | This project aims to develop self-lubricating and highly wear-resistant CFRP nanocomposites by synergistically combining indigenously synthesized MXene nanoplatelets, low-cost zircon micro-fillers, and carbon fiber reinforcement in an epoxy matrix. The proposed materials will exhibit low friction, enhanced mechanical strength, and superior dry sliding wear performance, addressing the limitations of conventional steel and ceramic slide bearings. Advanced surface modification, mechanical, tribological testing and microstructural characterization will establish structure–property relationships. The outcomes are expected to deliver cost-effective, durable, and environmentally sustainable materials for hydraulic pumps and other high-performance engineering applications. |
