Synthesis of polymers for use in ink and adhesive applications, and product line support. Developed an experimental low VOC heatsetting ink employing an in-house synthesized emulsion polymer. Developed a non-aqueous dispersion for a heat sealable adhesive. Used Six Sigma methodology to identify key properties of a supplied resin that affected both flush.

Development of tackifier and coating dispersions for the adhesive and paper industries, respectively. Co-winner of 1995 International Paper Product Innovation Award for the development of a sizing dispersion for use in paper-based products. Prepared tackifiers via cationic oligomerizations of piperylene, isobutylene, terpenes, and epoxides. Supervised both.

Polymer/Monomer R&D. Polymer synthesis via free radical and cationic polymerizations. Monomer synthesis. Developed a technique for reduction of residual monomer to acceptable levels in a polymer product line. Determined the source of an emulsion copolymer production problem and implemented a raw material test which led to greater product consistency..
