Your mission
Develop polymer formulations and polymerisation strategies for aevoloop’s novel, polyester-based plastics.
Define the desired properties of the target polymer and develop a R&D plan to achieve them. Design and optimize synthesis routes and scale-up to the 100+ kilogram range, while assessing hazards and costs.
Lead and interpret analytical workstreams (DSC, TGA, NMR, SEC, rheology, MFI, viscosity, TAN, mechanical testing, weathering/hydrolytic stability) to define the ideal polymer formulation and achieve the desired mechanical and processing properties.
Work closely together with process engineers to translate R&D findings into robust, scalable processes.
Develop compounds based on our polymer technology in close collaboration with external partners to fine-tune the material properties and enable manifold applications.
Develop sustainable plastic products for a wide range of applications, including extrusion, injection moulding and film blowing to prepare semi-finished product prototypes for 3D printing filaments, fibers or packaging.
Identify and validate new applications in line with our go-to-market strategy, especially within the fields of packaging, 3D printing, textiles and composites.
Prepare technical reports and patent applications.
Ensure that SHEQ and sustainability standards are upheld across all laboratory, pilot and production activities, including knowledge of REACH/CLP, LCA, recycling and end-of-life strategies.
