Internship | High-throughput screening of bio-based polyesters

About this position

The demand for renewable and bio-based polymer materials is increasing, and in order to address this need, rapid development cycles are required. Bio-based polyester have an incredibly large and diverse design space, which necessitates high-throughput synthesis and characterisation techniques to enable the rapid development of novel materials with targeted properties. At TNO, a novel high-throughput reactor is currently being utilised to support the development of an AI model that enables polymer design via machine learning. This approach allows for rapid, targeted development of bio-based polymer materials.

What will be your role?

In this project, the synthesis of a wide range of bio-based polyesters will be carried out using a high-throughput reactor. The intern will investigate the influence of reactor conditions and feedstock ratios on the final polymer properties. This is critical for ensuring high-quality pol...
