In the frame of an international collaboration, a PhD can be started. The research aims at the modification of
graphene and graphene oxide by means of grafting-to and grafting-from methods. Fundamental aspects of the
graphene modifications will be studied as well as the materials properties of the final products. Additionally it is
expected that the PhD student takes up didactic tasks such as supervision of bachelor and master projects as well
as organisation tasks within the research group.
