hela Sverige In recent years, the Faculty of Textiles, Engineering and Business has undergone significant development in the research field of Resource Recovery. The research and education environment today consists of seven professors, about 30 doctoral students, and 30 senior teachers and researchers and post docs. Education is conducted at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels and we also have our unique doctoral education programme in Resource Recovery. We have access to modern and well-equipped teaching and research laboratories. Research in Resource Recovery mainly deals with fields of energy, industrial biotechnology, polymer technology, resource management as well as civil engineering. We have a large network, both nationally and internationally, and well-developed collaborations with both industry and public actors. Within the research area Polymer Technology, 5 doctoral students have have obtained their doctorate between 2011-2022, and currently 5 doctoral students are pursuing their doctoral studies in the group.
Vinnova has granted funding to the research group for Polymer Technology for three research projects during the autumn of 2022, covering research and development of natural fibre composites based on plant-based fibres and recycled textile materials. These research projects are carried out in close collaboration with companies and RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden). The research group has also received strategic funding from the University of Borås Vice-Chancellor to establish a new materials development concept, the Digital Material Lab, which will evaluate how polymers, i.e. plastics, composites and textiles, can be developed using digital and virtual methods. The lab will include equipment, software and lab resources for students, doctoral students, and researchers within the academy who are developing new polymeric materials. In order to carry out this research work, we are now strengthening the research group in polymer technology with an additional postdoctoral researcher.
We look forward to receiving your application!
