Intern

Objectives of the role

Are you a motivated student with a background in chemistry or chemical engineering? Are you eager to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge materials research? Join our R&D team and contribute to the development of next-generation Electron Beam-curable coatings for the High Pressure Laminates (HPL) industry!

About the Project

This internship offers a unique opportunity to be involved in every stage of coating development—from idea generation and chemical formulation to material characterization and mechanical testing of final products. You will:

✔ Learn to synthesize and formulate energy-curable resins

✔ Develop coatings with enhanced mechanical and surface properties

✔ Conduct chemical and physical characterizations

✔ Gain experience in HPL panel production and testing

Your Responsibilities

As part of the R&D team you will:

• Conduct literature reviews and explore innovative coating solutions
• Develop hypotheses and select raw materials for experiments
• Perform organic syntheses and laboratory-scale experiments
• Collect, analyse, and interpret experimental data
• Follow safety procedures and best laboratory practices
• Present your findings to the R&D team and prepare a final research report

What You Will Learn

By the end of the internship, you will have gained:

• Practical insights into polymer structure-property relationships
• Hands-on experience with coating characterization techniques
• Theoretical and applied knowledge of Electron Beam curing technology
• Skills in technical reporting and presenting research findings

Internship Details

The project will last 3-6 months and will start in April 2025.

We are looking for

• BSc or MSc student in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering;
• Proficient in MS-Office and Excel;
• Good command of English (written and spoken);
• Basic knowledge of organic chemistry or coating systems is a plus.
