Research Topic: The preparation and characterization of new formulations for irreversible temperature indicating paints. Applications are invited for the above PhD studentship that is offered through a collaboration between the School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham and Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce are world leaders in the development, manufacture, application and interpretation of irreversible thermochromic paints, which are used to measure gas turbine component temperature distributions up to 1300°C. There is an increasing requirement for the development of new products, which will ensure the continuity of this technology. The project aims to draw on expertise within the University of Nottingham and Rolls-Royce to develop new paint formulations which will increase the temperature capability and the achievable temperature resolution and accuracy of the paints, be compliant to the international environmental legislation, and be resistant to the engine operating conditions. This project will provide a high-quality doctorate student with an opportunity to gain experience within a global world-class engineering company. Working alongside Professor Peter Licence, Professor Neil Champness and Rolls-Royce technologists, the scope of the project includes:
