Description
In the Fracture Mechanics/Lightweight Materials and Structures Group of the Institute for Building Materials (IfB), of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) are available two PhD positions in the field of Lightweight Materials and Structures.The challenge in developing lightweight materials is to assure sufficient strength and deformability in combination with low weight which is of interest for economic use of resources. One of the strategies followed in the past years to mix cement and protein foam to reach significant weight reduction, where ways have been found to retain …
