Aramco Performance Materials, R&D Lab Technician

• Focused on Converge® polyol technology R&D projects through lab scale synthesis, isolation, characterization, and testing of unique new polymers to make CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers).
• Project 1: Converge® polyols and commercially-used polyesters ternary blend to improve the strength of CASE.
• Project 2: Polyol decomposition temperature reduction to accelerate burn-off process of polyols.
• Worked 40 hours/week.

• Developed fully biodegradable, environment-friendly, green composites and nanocomposites using plant-based fibers and resin.  Projects mainly involve micro-encapsulation, emulsion and surface analysis.
• Main Project: Self-healing resin via spherical and non-spherical shaped microcapsules
• Worked 6 hours/week.  Collaborated with 1 postdoctoral researcher.
