Project description
Silicones are well-known foam control agents used in various industries (detergency, pulp & paper, coatings, etc). This internship will focus on the characterization of the behavior of these antifoams in the function of parameters such as temperature and shear in a given foaming media. The characterization will include interfacial measurements and observation techniques, together with some performance measurement Relationship between characterization results and performance data will need to be established, and guidelines to achieve optimum performance proposed.
The intern will spend most of his/her time in the laboratory experimenting with formulations and application testing, optimizing characterization techniques, while consolidating the project with literature searches to validate the technical hypothesis. The intern will review the results with the antifoam team regularly and present the findings to a larger audience at the end of the internship.
