I was trained to perform a wide variety of tests, using the following characterization equipment: UV-weathering chamber, DSC, TGA, FTIR, GPC, Optical microscopy and Processing equipment: twin screw extruder, blowing machine. With the results we develop more than 190 technical reports for the industry tending to solve a problem in its production chain and 18 congress publication. I also had to control the order of laboratories and training new people in the use of lab equipment.

During my work as an Intern, I was trained in different equipment related to polymer characterization. I operated the permeation testing systems MOCON OX-TRAN and PERMATRAN, Mechanical Properties INSTRON Machine and Processing equipment like BRABENDER batch mixer and heating press. Whit this knowledge I performed different test, getting results for the industry (quality control) and for our research teem.
