Job
Description
Role Overview: As the Polymer Synthesis Specialist, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing emulsion polymerization and Polyurethane Dispersion (PUD) processes to synthesize water-based polymers for various applications. You will lead the scale-up of laboratory-scale processes to pilot and production-scale manufacturing while ensuring consistent quality and performance. Your role will involve conducting detailed chemical, physical, and mechanical testing of polymer products, collaborating with cross-functional teams, troubleshooting production issues, and staying updated with the latest trends in polymer science. Key Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and optimize emulsion polymerization and Polyurethane Dispersion (PUD) processes for synthesizing water-based polymers. - Conduct detailed chemical, physical, and mechanical testing of polymer products, including particle size analysis, viscosity measurements, and glass transition temperature (Tg) analysis. - Lead the scale-up of laboratory-scale processes to pilot and production-scale manufacturing ensuring consistent quality and performance. - Improve process efficiencies, yields, and reproducibility through continuous process improvement strategies. - Collaborate with product development, marketing, and manufacturing teams to ensure polymer products meet customer and regulatory requirements. - Provide technical support for solving production issues related to emulsion polymerization processes and product quality. - Maintain comprehensive lab notebooks, write technical reports, and prepare presentations to communicate results to stakeholders. - Stay updated with the latest trends in polymer science, particularly in emulsion polymerization, and provide input into the development of new product lines. Qualification Required: - Bachelor's/Masters Degree in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. - Minimum 5-10 years of experience in emulsion polymer and PUD synthesis, preferably in an industrial setting.
