About Novel Sensors Based on Fluorescent Polymer Brushes, PhD - at Faculty of Science, Charles University

Project summary

Polymer brushes, that is, polymer chains tethered to a surface, are exceptional structures which have attracted interest because of their great potential for the development of sensing platforms. In this project, we focus on fluorescence techniques which offer inherent nanometer scale resolution to provide essential information on polymer brush structure, conformation, density and distance between neighboring chains. Polymer brushes with fluorescent labels bound to the support, the end of the polymer chain and along the polymer chain will allow for tracing minute chemical changes in the surrounding medium based either on the properties of the fluorophore (fluorescent pH indicators, fluorophores sensitive to polarity) or by conformational changes of the brush (for instance, the response of polyelectrolytes to solution pH), which can be probed by F

Fees, Funding and Scholarships at Faculty of Science, Charles University

This text facilitates quick navigation of the various types of scholarships but does not provide a full list of rules and policies regulating this field. The granting and payments of scholarships is governed primarily by the Scholarships and Bursaries Rules of Charles University (cuni.cz/UKEN-727.html), the Rules for Granting Scholarships at FSc, and the relevant measures issued by the Dean (natur.cuni.cz/fakulta/studium/bc-nmgr/predpisy-a-poplatky/stipendia; Czech only).

Students may obtain the following scholarships:

accommodation bursary;
bursary for a student in difficult social circumstances;
scholarship for outstanding academic achievement (“mark-based”);
bursary in a case worthy of special consideration;
bursary to support study abroad;
bursary for a CU student in an acutely difficult situation;
bursary to support study in the Czech Republic;
bursary for excellent research, development, innovation, artistic, or other creative achievements contributing to enhanced knowledge;
scholarship for RDI (research, development, and innovation) under special legislation;
motivation bursary for 1st year bachelor’s programme students;
motivation bursary for 1st year post-bachelor’s programme students;
sports bursary;
doctoral bursary.

Certain scholarships are granted to students automatically (without student applications), whereas others are granted further to an application (electronic or paper, depending on the type of scholarship). Bursaries are neither taxed nor included in stated income. You can find answers to frequently asked questions regarding scholarships on the Faculty website (natur.cuni.cz/fakulta/studium/helpdesk/faq-stipendia; Czech only).
