Internship in Analytical Science (m/f)

Goodyear. More Driven.

The Opportunity:
Assessment of analytical methods for the determination of cross-link density in rubber compounds using High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.  In addition to the main focus on High Field NMR techniques, time-domain NMR, compound swelling and other methods for total cross-link density measurements will be used as required.

Responsibilities:
The main deliverable of this study will be to assess a new methodology for total cross-link density measurements using high-field / high resolution NMR based on the polymer resonance linewidth or / and on the difference in chemical shift between confined and non-confined probe molecules. Basic feasibility studies showed very promising results.

To join our team you will need:
  
Education:
Master Student: Chemistry / Analytical Chemistry (4th or 5th year of studies).

Languages:
English is a must. Luxembourgish, French, German are an asset.

Skills & Qualifications:

• Knowledge on PC based software (MS Office, etc.)
• Python programming skills are an asset

You must be available for 4-6 months & be enrolled in university.
Ideal starting date : Q1 or Q2 2024
