Technical Services Accomplishments Routinely performed polymerization behavior testing with various methacrylate monomers (MMA, MAPTAC, MPEG350MA, MPEG500MA etc.) with AIBN initiator.Implemented and performed analytical test methods measuring methacrylate monomer product purity, water content, acid content, color, and Inhibitor content (ASTM test methods) routinely.Administered and maintained electronic and hard copy records in laboratory notebooks, files, technical data sheets and databases for customer complaints, applied technology projects.Used analytical laboratory instruments like GC, GPC, UV spectrometer, turbidity-meter, auto-titration (for water and acid content measurement) help solve technical issues for customer complaints and product inventory managementLaboratory Management Contributions Developed and conducted solution polymerization of automotive high solid clear coat resins with methacrylate monomers like MMA, nBMA, IBOMA and HEMA etc.Staff Training and DevelopmentSuccessfully trained interns and new co-workers on analytical instruments in the laboratory. Also conducted lab experiments and demonstrations to sales representatives and co-workers. Research Development Enhancements Prepared emulsion polymerization with monomers for architectural coatings applications. Investigated and studied storage stability of methacrylate monomers under specified conditions to support acrylic monomer business in North America region. Handled acrylic monomer sampling operation including sample shipment, document (MSDS and labels) preparation, sample inventory replenishment, and chemical inventory updated lists in databasesMaintained TS-AT lab chemicals, lab equipment, computers, furniture, tools, and supplies.Completed hazardous waste disposal of expired samples and old chemicals from laboratory.
