Optimization of glycerol-water mixtures for antifreeze function using spectroscopic screening
About the topic:
Spectroscopic screening will be used to probe local hydration and changes in mixing enthalpy of glycerol-water mixtures. This establishes a link between macroscopic/thermodynamic and microscopic/structural changes as a function of mixing ratio, which offers opportunities to rationally design glycerol-water mixtures to optimize cryoprotective applications.
What they are looking for in students:
Through this solvation student challenge program, we expect motivated experimental researchers interested in physical chemistry, solvation research and spectroscopy. We are ready for new collaborations and always happy to invite new people in our friendly team.
