Chemistry and Technology of Materials (double degree)
Doctoral Programme,
Faculty of Chemical Technology
Joint study programme with foreign universities - two diplomas for one study.
Doctoral study of Chemistry and Technology of Materials is a natural consequence of the long-time material research at UCT Prague. The study is based on the cutting-edge physical, chemical and engineering approaches to materials and material technology. Students develop their knowledge about materials; they find and comprehend deeper relationships among preparation and/or production of materials, structure and composition, and their properties. Inevitable part of the study are courses focused to deeper understanding of nature of materials, analytical methods, material characterization, and material technologies. CareersGraduates become not only leading experts in the field of material science and technology, but thanks to their experience in international teamwork they are predetermined to start their career in academic area, international research and technology corporations, innovative companies, and state government.

Ph.D. topics for study year 2024/25Preparation of olefin block copolymers
AnnotationThe thesis will be focused on the preparation of block copolymers based on olefin and diene monomers by coordination copolymerizations. The focus will be on copolymers with blocks of different properties, e.g. hard and soft blocks. Principles of coordination chain transfer polymerization and chain-shuttling polymerization will be applied. Introduction of polar functional groups will also be of interest. The work will include organometallic synthesis of catalysts, polymerization experiments in presence of various transfer agents and full characterization of obtained polymers. The work will be done in collaboration with ENSC Lille under co-tutelle supervision with Prof. Phillipe Zinck.
