The thesis lies in the framework of the COPOLA (Composite and POLymer Ageing) research program. Depending on their industrial uses, polymers age more or less rapidly. A best understanding of the polymers ageing mechanisms will allow to select and optimise certain functionalities of materials. The aim of this thesis is to study with ab initio molecular modelling (DFT and Hartree-Fock based methods) various processes of ageing, namely: charges/polymers interactions, formation of radicals, chemical reactivity with water or oxygen. The work will be co-directed by the CEA, EDF and ENSCP (Paris). The project requires a good knowledge in the field of materials science and basic knowledge of molecular modelling (density functional theory and Hartree-Fock approximations). The phd study is granted by the CEA under the proposal number SL-DEN-07-153 The deadline for application isMay 21. The candidates must send us us the most rapidly, a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, one letter of reference and a receipt of the latest results obtained at the graduate studies. These documents must be sent obligatorily at the CEA contacts (see addresses below) by conventional and electronic mails; each document must be signed by the candidat.
