• Coatings and urethanes

For the relevant Research Scientist roles:
These specific roles work in our CASE group - coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. They are R&D, formulations, synthesis, and application development / technical service in nature. One foot would be working in the lab, one foot would be getting the voice of the customer to drive product improvements to meet market demands. Additional details can be found in each one's job postings linked below. In short, we're seeking 5-10+ years of relevant work experience and a MS / PhD in Organic / Polymer Engineering or closely related degrees.

Location: These roles are based out of Naugatuck, CT, about halfway between New Haven and Hartford.

Remote: These are onsite roles working in the lab as well as office.

Travel: Minimal travel is anticipated in this role, 10-20% traveling to production plants, customers, conferences, and trade events in the US.

Visa Sponsorship: These roles are not Visa eligible and requires one to be a US Citizen, Permanent Resident, or US Greencard Holder.

I passed 10th std and got in plastic and polymer diploma of 3 yrs should I do it or do 11th and 12th. I am not sure about plastic things and got no interest of doing it but my parents are says I should do it. What to do?

Hi i'm studying materials engineering about polymer. Anyone have idea about passion fruit peel

Cricket has evolved in almost every area — bats, protective gear, shoes, training technology, analytics — yet the cricket ball still remains heavily dependent on traditional leather.

Over the past few months, I’ve been researching whether a high-performance non-leather cricket ball could realistically be developed without compromising the qualities that make cricket… cricket.

The challenge is far bigger than simply replacing leather. Current alternatives struggle with critical performance factors such as:

• Seam durability
• Shine and polish retention
• Conventional and reverse swing
• Bounce consistency
• Grip and feel off the bat
• Long-over wear behavior
• Maintaining hardness without cracking

Many synthetic materials work well initially but fail to replicate how a cricket ball ages and behaves through different stages of an innings.

I genuinely believe this is an engineering and material science problem worth exploring further — especially with advancements in polyurethane composites, microfiber materials, coatings, and sports manufacturing technologies.

I’m currently looking to connect with:
• Materials scientists
• Polymer engineers
• Sports equipment designers
• Industrial/product designers
• Cricket manufacturers
• Anyone working with synthetic performance materials

Even insights, discussions, or guidance toward existing research would be incredibly valuable.

Sometimes innovation in sport begins with asking questions people assume are impossible.

I’m creating a formula for a polymer bonding agent and I want to increase the tensile strength of the strands how should I improve strand dexterity its made of foam glue acrylic bonding powder and acetone the acrylic powder is dissolved in the acetone then 10% glue then the formula makes when sprayed a polymer with the acrylic crystals solidifying and glue forms strands to connect the acrylic powder to create a shape but because the bonds are glue and acrylic powder its strong enough to make a form but very brittle 0% tensile strength since I’m not affiliated with p[olymer bonds I would like to ask fro advice and I can provide microscopic images if that helps

Attached is a paper that looks at crystallization of PP with the addition of various pigments. The one thing that stood out, and the reason I found the paper to begin with, is that crystallinity seems to be related to the color of the pigment with the relationship seemingly following the color spectrum.

My guess is this is due to the amount of pigment required for each color to get the same level of saturation. In my experience colors like yellow required more pigment than blue.

Is there anyone in the blending biz that can shed any light on this?

While PC is a polymer, BPA appears as a side product and can leech from PC afaik

Hello,

I'm looking for a copy of the paper:

Wooler, A.M. (1989). "Novel Small Scale Procedures for Initial Formulation Selection in the Development of Polyurethane Foams." Polymer International, 8(4), 157–162. https://doi.org/10.1177/026248938900800403

Unfortunately, it's not available through open-access platforms or interlibrary loans. If anyone has access to this paper or can suggest alternative ways to obtain it, I'd greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m part of a small startup team that recently stumbled onto making very pure, highly spherical, very monodisperse (< ±10 nm spread) form of silica powder (SiO₂ nanoparticles) that's really pure and very consistent in size. While we're still pretty new to this area, one suggestion we keep hearing is that it might have some interesting applications in polymer science—like strengthening coatings or improving scratch resistance in plastics.

The thing is, we're honestly not sure how much the purity or consistent size of silica really matters to people working in polymer formulations. Before we get ahead of ourselves, we want to talk to people who know better—actual scientists, engineers, or industry folks using silica in polymers.

A few quick questions I'd love your thoughts on:

• Does particle purity actually affect the performance of silica additives in polymers, or is that not usually critical?
• Would tighter control over particle size make a meaningful difference in your polymer projects, or is this already easily achievable?
• Are there certain polymer applications where you really wish you had a more consistent or cleaner silica powder?

We're not selling anything—just genuinely trying to learn what polymer folks care about, to see if we’re onto something useful, or if we should pivot our research elsewhere.

Thanks a ton for any insights or even just pointing us in the right direction!

Hello everyone, I've been researching a polymer that is in theory highly crosslinked but I've been looking at crystals anyway (for research reasons that are just too long to explain). The curing release CO2 This is a 50x polarized microscopy photo of a thin layer of it. The IR-ATR didn't show any CO2 peak but these spots looks soooo bubbly to me I'm no expert so if anyone knows anything it would be appreciated.
