Multi-functional molecular precursors for 3D-printing

Multi-functional molecular precursors for 3D-printing

30/04/2026 – Public/Private financing.

Designing high-performance active materials with smaller size is an ongoing task in various domains such as electronics or catalysis, aiming to lower prices and weight and to facilitate their integration into devices. This interdisciplinary project proposes to engineer multi‑functional molecules that act as precursors for additive manufacturing of architectures by 3D photo‑printing. The specific molecular design will lead to the formulation of photoresins of simple composition with increased stability.

The characterization of the materials and architectures will be performed by combining techniques such as electronic microscopy, Raman, FT‑IR and luminescence spectroscopies, all of which are entirely available on site.

This project will give the PhD student skills in synthesis and a broad knowledge in materials characterization.

• Master degree in Chemistry required, with strong synthesis skills.
• Knowledge in coordination chemistry is a plus.
• A strong will to develop a multidisciplinary project.
• Proficiency in reporting results through written reports and oral presentations.

The expected candidate should hold a Master degree in Chemistry with good skills in synthesis . Knowledge in coordination chemistry would be a plus. He/she should have a strong will to develop a multidisciplinary project and good skills for reporting results by writing and oral presentations.
