In this internship you will be working with both MNEXT and Relement. Relement is a start-up company on a mission to turn chemistry green. They focus on aromatic compounds made from non-edible biomass, suitable for coatings, adhesives, composites and more. Their specialty bio-aromatic products, provide an unmatched combination of sustainability and performance. All elements matter.
MNEXT, together with SMEs, serves as the bridge between innovation and society. By conducting practice -oriented research with students, teachers, researchers, and stakeholders. By working together on educational innovation. This is how we make our movement in the materials and energy transition. For a sustainable future. The research group carries out research on building blocks made from biobased polymers (biobased plastics). By collecting knowledge about, for example, the insulating properties, modification and source of building blocks, we can develop materials with specific chemical and physical properties, such as easy degradability and recyclability. This is useful in closing plastic material cycles and making them circular.
Desirable skills
We are looking for a highly motivated 3rd/4th year chemistry/chemical engineering student that is eager to learn more about the development of biobased epoxy resin and its composites.
