(For credit during the academic semesters and 40hr/week paid position during summer.)Responsibilities include assisting a graduate student with their project in the field of emulsion polymerization and performing research on an individual research project in relation to an ISUR (Illinois Scholars Undergraduate Research) scholarship. The individual project is focused on determining the mass transfer limited rate of polymerization for three different polymers and their copolymer variants. I have successfully designed experiments for measuring the mass transfer constants and their concentration and temperature dependence.I assisted in the design and construction of a bench scale reactor with contributions including installation of a temperature controller circuit and programming video processing software to assist in on-line monitoring.
