Polymers and Biopolymers
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.

Output profile
Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research (Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies):
a) A systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field.
b) An ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of research or creation.
c) An ability to contribute to pushing back the frontiers of knowledge through original research.
d) A capacity for critical analysis and an ability to assess and summarise new and complex ideas.
e) An ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general as regards their fields of knowledge in the manner and languages that are typical of the international scientific community to which they belong.
f) An ability to foster scientific, technological, social, artistic and cultural progress in academic and professional contexts within a knowledge-based society.
The award of a doctoral degree must equip the graduate for work in a variety of settings, especially those requiring creativity and innovation. Doctoral graduates must have at least acquired the personal skills needed to:
a) Develop in contexts in which there is little specific information.
b) Find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem.
c) Design, create, develop and undertake original, innovative projects in their field.
d) Work as part of a team and independently in an international or multidisciplinary context.
e) Integrate knowledge, deal with complexity and make judgements with limited information.
f) Offer criticism on and intellectually defend solutions.
Finally, with respect to competencies, doctoral students must:
a) have acquired advanced knowledge at the frontier of their discipline and demonstrated, in the context of internationally recognised scientific research, a deep, detailed and well-grounded understanding of theoretical and practical issues and scientific methodology in one or more research fields;
b) have made an original and significant contribution to scientific research in their field of expertise that has been recognised as such by the international scientific community;
c) have demonstrated that they are capable of designing a research project that serves as a framework for carrying out a critical analysis and assessment of imprecise situations, in which they are able to apply their contributions, expertise and working method to synthesise new and complex ideas that yield a deeper knowledge of the research context in which they work;
d) have developed sufficient autonomy to set up, manage and lead innovative research teams and projects and scientific collaborations (both national and international) within their field, in multidisciplinary contexts and, where appropriate, with a substantial element of knowledge transfer;
e) have demonstrated that they are able to carry out their research activity in a socially responsible manner and with scientific integrity;
f) have demonstrated, within their specific scientific context, that they are able to make cultural, social or technological advances and promote innovation in all areas within a knowledge-based society;
g) have demonstrated that they are able to participate in scientific discussions at the international level in their field of expertise and disseminate the results of their research activity to audiences of all kinds.
Based on the training they receive, students of the doctoral programme in Polymers and Biopolymers must develop the ability to lead R&D projects in the field of polymer technology. Doctoral students should acquire the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively in fields such as raw material production, production of polymeric materials, and processing and design of parts, as well as characterisation, development and application of new advanced materials, in particular biopolymers.
They are expected to develop the ability to conceive, design, implement and adapt a substantial process of research. The programme aims to equip students to contribute to extending the frontiers of knowledge through original research. Upon completing the degree, they will also be able to carry out critical and evaluative analysis and synthesise new and complex ideas. It is hoped that candidates will acquire the abilities needed to display, in academic and professional contexts, the ideas and knowledge acquired.

Duration of studies and dedication regime
Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is three years, counted from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. 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 five years, counting from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. For calculating these periods, the date of admission is considered to be the date of the first enrolment for tutorials, and the date of submission the moment in which the Doctoral School officially deposits the doctoral thesis.
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 minimum period of study requirement.
The calculation of periods of study will not include periods of absence due to illness, pregnancy or any other reason provided for in the regulations in force. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which, where appropriate, must inform the Doctoral School. Doctoral candidates may also temporarily withdraw from the programme for up to one year, and this period may be extended for an additional year. Doctoral candidates who wish to interrupt their studies must submit a justified request to the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which will decide whether or not to approve the request. Each programme will establish conditions for readmission to doctoral studies.
Extension
If full-time doctoral candidates have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, the academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year. In exceptional circumstances, a further one-year extension may be granted, subject to the conditions established by the corresponding doctoral programme. In the case of part-time doctoral candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of the doctoral programme.
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 maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
- The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
- The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
- The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.
Dismissal from the programme implies that doctoral candidates cannot continue studying at the UPC and the closing of their academic record. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission and the committee must reevaluate them in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

Admission criteria and merits assessment
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.
Permanence
The academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year for full-time doctoral candidates who have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, in the terms outlined in the Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. In the case of part-time candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of 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 maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
- The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
- The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
- The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.
Dismissal from the programme implies that doctoral candidates cannot continue studying at the UPC and the closing of their academic record. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission and the committee must reevaluate them in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.
International Mention
The doctoral degree certificate may include International Doctorate mention. In this case, the doctoral candidate must meet the following requirements:
a) During the period of study leading to the award of the doctoral degree, the doctoral candidate must have spent at least three months at a respected higher education institution or research centre outside Spain to complete courses or do research work. The stays and activities carried out must be endorsed by the thesis supervisor and authorised by the academic committee of the programme. The candidate must provide a certifying document issued by the person responsible for the research group of the body or bodies where the stay or activity was completed. This information will be added to the doctoral student’s activity report.
b) Part of the thesis (at least the summary and conclusions) must be written and presented in one of the languages commonly used for science communication in the relevant field of knowledge, which must not be an official language of Spain. This rule does not apply to stays and reports in Spanish or to experts from Spanish-speaking countries.
c) At least two PhD-holding experts belonging to a higher education institution or research centre outside Spain must have issued officially certified reports on the thesis.
d) The thesis examination committee must have included at least one PhD-holding expert from a higher education or research institution outside Spain who was not responsible for the candidate’s stay abroad (point a) above).
e) The thesis defence must have taken place on UPC premises or, in the case of joint programmes, at the location specified in the collaboration agreement.

Thesis abstract: Surfaces with special functionalities owed to their surface topographies or textures are present all around us in nature. Millions of living organisms around us profit from those special functionalities thanks to the features existing on the interfaces that separate them from the surrounding environment. These functionalities, such as special wettability or antibacterial properties, for example, arise from the micro- and nanometre periodically organized features present on those interfaces.These properties that arise from the specific interactions of the micro- and nanotextures present on the surfaces with the surrounding environment (light, liquids, infectious agents, etc.), constitute a powerful inspiration towards the functionalization of the surfaces of plastic parts. The possibility of functionalizing the surface of plastic parts using a replication based technique applied to a high-volume and low-cost-per-part well-known production technology such as injection moulding has acquired a lot of scientific interest during the last years. This technology allows for the production of such parts without the need of using special coatings or treatments. This in turn reduces their complexity and also the resources and times needed for the manufacturing, while also lowering their environmental footprint.The production of such surfaces through injection moulding requires the use of micro- and nanotextured mould inserts that serve as negative template tooling for the obtention of the textured features on the surface of the final plastic produced part. In this regard, the usage of two different types of tooling have been researched in this study: first, metallic micro- and nanotextured inserts and second, flexible polymeric inserts.In the first part of this research, the use of micro- and nanotextured metallic materials as injection mould inserts, a thoroughly studied technology for the production of micro- and nanotextured surfaces on polymeric parts, is studied.In this case, the influence of the process parameters on the obtained results been carried out using mainly transparent thermoplastic polymers (PC, PMMA, PET, TPU). Along with it, various process technology improvements and functional characterization techniques to determine the functionality of the obtained plastic parts has been researched.Also, practical applications of the obtained results within the frame of a publicly financed project are shown within this section. The main results show that mould temperature and holding pressure played a major role in the degree of replication (DR%) of the micro/nanostructures obtained in the surface of the polymeric parts manufactured via isothermal injection moulding (IIM).Also, the improvements in the DR% achieved when using advanced injection moulding techniques such as variothermal injection moulding (VIM) and injection compression moulding (ICM) were researched, and the relevant functional characteristics promoted by the micro- and nanotextures replicated (special wetting, optical and mechanical properties) were thoroughly characterized.In the second part of the research, the use of flexible polymeric materials as mould inserts, a more innovative and potentially more cost-effective technology, has been studied. In this section, the influence of the process parameters on the obtained results and the improvement of the flexible insert materials, along with a characterization of all the results obtained has been studied.Also, several complementary topics have been researched: the enhancement of the functional properties of the obtained plastic parts via secondary treatments (coatings, ionic implantation), the study of the thermoforming of such textured films to be used as 3D mould inserts and the extension of the used injectable materials to current polymers of crescent industrial interest (biopolymers).

Thesis abstract: Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource considered a suitable carbon raw material for the synthesis of chemicals and as an alternative to fossil fuels energy supply source. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the primary components of lignocellulosic biomass, among which lignin, the most abundant aromatic molecule on earth, represents from 15 to 30 % of its dry mass in woody plants. Lignin has been traditionally considered a low value by-product from paper manufacturing. Around 70 million tons of lignin are generated annually from the pulp and paper industry, whereof only 2¿5 % is reused in its macromolecular form. Its underutilization is mainly caused by its heterogeneous molecular structure, which highly depends on the extraction and purification methods, and its low compatibility with polymeric matrices in composite production. In recent years, the potential of lignin for the synthesis of value-added materials has been considered in various fields. Lignin features multiple functionalities, including aromatic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups, providing antibacterial, antioxidant, and ultraviolet (UV)-blocking capacities, in addition to carboxylic, carbonyl, and methoxyl groups.Nanotransformation of lignin yields nano-entities with higher reactivity compared to their bulk counterparts, which inclusion in composites endows them with enhanced mechanical properties and bioactivities. Nanoformulation of lignin is an emerging valorization approach, yielding lignin nanoparticles (LigNPs) that have been used as mechanical reinforcement in polymeric matrices, as UV absorbents, as antibacterial and antioxidant agents in food packaging, and as carriers for drug delivery. The increasing interest in LigNPs is reflected in the numerous recent reviews addressing the bioactivities of macromolecular lignin in biomedical applications, the methods for the synthesis of LigNPs and their different applications, and the combination of lignin with other materials or actives to obtain hybrid nanocomposites.In light of the rapid surge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, research has been focused on developing novel antimicrobials for substituting conventional antibiotics. The use of LigNPs as antibacterial agents is a suitable alternative to traditional antibiotics owing to their antibacterial properties and their biocompatibility, coupled to additional bioactivities such as antioxidant and UV-blocking.The present thesis aims to develop novel antibiotic-free, lignin-based NPs with antibacterial properties for biomedical applications. To achieve this, different hybrid LigNPs have been designed by combining the biopolymer with metals, metalloids, and natural phenolic compounds. The antibacterial properties against medically relevant strains, thebiocompatibility toward human cells, and the mechanism of action of the NPs were studied. Such particles were used as active and structural elements in materials for biomedical uses (polyurethane foams and hydrogels), especially for chronic wound treatment. The potential of these materials as wound dressings was assessed by measuring their antibacterial and antioxidant capacity, ability to inhibit deleterious wound enzymes, and capacity to absorb exudates.
