Job Description

Position Summary, To explore the mechanism of stable slurry dispersions and propose a rheological model that may predict slurry stability To support the new capability buildup to enable the fast execution of NPD for Plastics lab. The specific project will be determined together with the intern based on this individual's academic background, interest, and time availability etc. Explore advanced abrasion test capability to support OTR and industrial mining product applications. Job Responsibilities, Explore stable vs. instable slurry dispersions using various rheological methods Summarize rheological data and propose how the structural properties behave to stabilize the dispersions Find out the key parameters affecting stability of slurry dispersions, and propose a method to predict the stability Die buildup evaluation and test method development; High gloss PC application - a)screen count method upgrade, b) in-house injection molding method development; Opaque PE film application, the influence of carbon black morphology. Develop at least two advanced abrasion test method Conduct DOE to explore the influence of CB on abrasion resistance Requirements, Explore stable vs. instable slurry dispersions using various rheological methods Summarize rheological data and propose how the structural properties behave to stabilize the dispersions Find out the key parameters affecting stability of slurry dispersions, and propose a method to predict the stability Die buildup evaluation and test method development; High gloss PC application - a)screen count method upgrade, b) in-house injection molding method development; Opaque PE film application, the influence of carbon black morphology.
