This doctoral programme dates back to 1987, the year when doctoral programmes based on Spain’s recently enacted University Reform Law were launched. In 1994, the current programme was set up by combining the Plastics and Polymers and Structural Molecular Biology programmes, bringing together the Department’s most established research activities in two optional subject areas: polymers and biopolymers.

The Spanish Ministry of Education recognised the excellence of the programme in 2004 by granting it a quality award (MCD2004-00290). Since then, the quality award has been renewed without interruption following regular audits, and in 2011, the programme was granted a Pathway to Excellence award (MEE2011-0310), which remained in effect until 2013, when the award programme ended. The programme was associated with the UPC master’s degree in Polymers and Biopolymers and is now linked to the master’s degree in Chemical Engineering – Smart Chemical Factories (Smart Polymer Engineering, specialisation track).

The programme harnesses the research experience that the UPC has gained in the field of polymers and biopolymers over more than 40 years of continuous activity. This experience currently underpins the work of more than half a dozen recognised groups devoted exclusively to research in this field, all of which participate in the National RDI Programme, mainly in the materials area.

The doctoral programme is aimed at the polymer materials sector, which is one of the most active in the chemical industry. Polymer production continues to grow, as they replace other kinds of materials and enable technological innovations that are impossible with other materials. It is important to note that polymer materials have a special impact on science, and specifically, on the creation of advanced materials for use in a wide range of sectors from biomedicine to the electronics industry. Producing specialists capable of leading R&D projects in polymer technology is essential for competitive development.

The existence of national and international doctoral programmes in this field with similar characteristics speaks to the value and importance of this programme at the current time. In the USA, there are countless doctoral programmes that focus on polymer science and engineering. In Europe, many prestigious institutions (including the University of Manchester, University of Bayreuth, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, and University of Lyon) offer doctoral degrees in polymers and biopolymers, generally linked to master’s degrees in the same field. Doctoral programmes in this field are also starting to take off at technology-oriented universities in Asia. Despite a high concentration of industrial activity in this sector in Catalonia, this doctoral programme is the only one focusing on polymers that is offered in the region.

The way the programme is focused facilitates the achievement of a series of objectives, enabling students to develop expertise in the field by providing:

a) Systematic, streamlined and up-to-date knowledge of the scientific and technological foundations of polymers and biopolymers.

b) Knowledge and use of bibliographic sources as required to justify, underpin and support research on topics related to polymers and biopolymers.

c) Experimental knowledge of the main methodologies applied in the manufacture, characterisation and evaluation of properties of polymers and biopolymers.

d) Scientific and technological criteria for planning, implementing and directing a basic or applied research project on any topic in the field of specialisation.

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.

When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.

Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.

Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.

Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

Legal framework

Admission criteria and merits assessment

Weighting of admission criteria:

1. Applicant’s curriculum vitae: Type of training and marks awarded, as well as research and professional experience (70%).
2. Personal contact through online or face-to-face interviews (15%).
3. English language skills (15%)

Admissions body
The programme has an academic committee that assesses student applications. Each month, the committee reviews applications submitted through the pre-enrolment application.

The doctoral programme has a specific form for doctoral students to indicate their scientific and technical interests. Based on this information, and taking into account the needs and capacity of research groups, the academic committee channels the applications accepted so that tutors and thesis supervisors can be assigned.

If the academic committee deems that additional training is required for an applicant to be admitted, it determines what bridging courses the student will be required to take to ensure that they have the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities (up to a maximum of 60 ECTS credits).

Training complements

The academic committee for the doctoral programme may require that students pass specific bridging courses. Additional training requirements will be determined based on each student's academic background. In such cases, the committee will keep track of the bridging courses completed and establish appropriate criteria to limit their duration.

Bridging courses may provide research or cross-disciplinary training, but in no case may doctoral students be required to enrol for 60 or more ECTS credits.

Students will complete any additional training within the framework of the master's degree in Chemical Engineering offered by the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE-UPC) or by taking cross-disciplinary training courses organised by the UPC. This master's degree includes a specialisation module in Smart Polymer Engineering (SPE), which offers students the possibility of acquiring a specialisation in which the Department has a solid track record in both teaching and research.

Based on each applicant's background and the gaps in their training, bridging courses are selected from among subjects taught on the master's degree in Chemical Engineering. Applicants are informed of the bridging courses they will be required to take prior to the enrolment process. At the same time, they are also provided with information on the frequency with which courses are offered and the pertinence of their content.

The following points apply to any bridging courses that doctoral students may be required to take:

1. Bridging courses are subjects of the specified master's degree and must be administratively linked to the student’s enrolment in the doctoral degree. They may be taken in one or two semesters, depending on the student’s previous training and the frequency with which they are offered.

2. Students who do not successfully complete required bridging courses will be automatically excluded from the programme.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Thesis abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern, which leads to increased morbidity and mortality, huge economic burden to the healthcare systems and potentially untreatable infections. Due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, the natural adaptation has been accelerated and bacteria have developed multiple ways to degrade, alter, or expel drug molecules. Besides these resistance mechanisms, bacteria can adhere to surfaces and grow as biofilms ¿ organised assemblies of surface-bound cells, enclosed in a self-produced extracellular polymer matrix (EPM). The EPM holds the pathogens together, enables adhesion to surfaces, and enhances the tolerance to host immune responses and antibiotics compared to free-floating cells. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been suggested as a potential solution to fight resistant bacteria due to their strong antimicrobial activity and versatile mechanisms of action. However, inherent toxicity towards mammalian cells and large variation of physical properties are challenges that preclude the clinical application of such materials. In this thesis, metal NPs have been combined with different biomolecules for enhanced biocompatibility, increased antimicrobial efficacy, and enabling new functionalities to mitigate AMR.The first part of the thesis describes the formation of Ag NPs using bioactive macromolecules to produce multifunctional nanostructures. First, the matrix-degrading enzyme (MDE) ¿-amylase was used to reduce Ag(I), yielding NPs with antimicrobial and biofilm-degrading activity towards both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Then, chitosan-Ag NPs were decorated with the quorum-quenching enzyme (QQE) acylase I, which combination was able to kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa, hinder biofilm formation, and inhibit bacterial quorum sensing (QS) based on acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). Finally, adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) was grafted on hyaluronic acid (HA) and used to form Ag NPs. The modified polymer (HA-ADH) played a crucial role in the interaction of the NPs with bacterial membranes, assessed using Langmuir isotherms, and reduced the toxicity of Ag towards human cells. In the second part of the thesis, HA-ADH and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were used to produce nanostructured complexes with a scarcely studied antimicrobial Co(II). On one hand, Co(II) formed a complex with the biopolymer, which complex was transformed to antimicrobial nanogels (NGs) using an ultrasonic approach. On the other hand, incubation of EGCG with Co(II) yielded nanostructured metal-phenolic networks (MPN). These cobalt-containing NPs were active towards both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and were able to inhibit biofilm formation due to the capacity of ECGC to disrupt QS. The last chapter of the thesis validates the use of the novel nanomaterials for antimicrobial functionalisation of medical devices. Coating of contact lenses with NGs hindered bacterial colonisation and unspecific absorption of proteins without affecting the optical properties and comfort of the material. Inclusion of MPN NPs in thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) hydrogels endowed these materials with properties promoting efficient chronic wound treatment. The antibiotic-free hydrogels were able to control the main factors of wound chronicity by inhibiting the activity of deleterious wound enzymes, scavenging reactive oxidative species, and demonstrating pronounced antimicrobial activity, resulting in similar to commercial products wound management efficacy confirmed in vivo.

Thesis abstract: Viruses and their infections have always affected human lives throughout history. Globalization contributed positively to the progress of human society in science and medicine which permited to deal with viruses, but the reality is that the number of infections does not decrease over the years. Globalization itself is here agin one of the main factors, as people move in more densely populated areas, which favors the spread of viruses. Another important factor is the viruses themselves, which over the years have shown a constant evolution that allowed them to adapt to new hosts. For these reasons, human-led efforts such as vaccines, antiviral treatments, sensors etc. are critical tools for human survival, and like viruses, humans must continue to innovate. This thesis focused on providing different understandings of a series of biochemical processes at molecular the level to facilitate the design of plasmonic resonance sensors, currently used for detecting diseases such as cancer, to enable a similar detection improvement in other viruses and diseases such as HIV and SARS-Cov-2.This thesis is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on the characterization related to the HIV virus. Several studies have been carried out using a combination of different molecular simulation techniques, classical dynamics, quantum mechanics and hybrid QM/MM-MD methods. These studies characterize the behavior of the antibody chosen in the design of the sensor, IgG1 , as well as its interactions with the silica surface that compounds the sensor and its orientation once functionalized on top of the surface. Additional studies were performedm focusing on the interaction between the immunoglobulin G and the glycoprotein that forms part of the HIV virus spike, and permited to identify the interactions helping the antibody to attach to the virus for the virus inhibition.In the second part, the same molecular simulation techniques have been used to study the virus which completely changed the world in 2020, SARS-CoV-2 known for the disease COVID19. As this virus was new at the time of the thesis, there was a dramatic lack of knowledge. Molecular modelling techniques were used to study the behavior of the virus spike in presence of heat or solvated in water. Similar studies to the case of HIV-IgG1 were performed between SARS-CoV-2 spike and different promising antibodies with the goal to identify the best candidate for sensor functionalization or virus inhibition. In this section, the interaction between the virus spike and the ACE2 enzyme, the target cell that SARS-CoV-2 use to infect human body, was also characterized. Finally, new antibodies were designed combining the previous ones with IgG1 and their behavior was studied in the presence of the sensor¿s silica surface and the nanoparticles gold surface used in the detector

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
