Job Description
- Research & Development:
- Conduct in-depth research on agricultural residues (e.g., bagasse, straw), wood-based fibers, bioplastics, and paper substrates, including their chemical composition and material properties.
- Develop a benchmark mechanism to differentiate substrates based on key properties (e.g., tensile strength, biodegradability, hydrophobicity, surface characteristics).
- Explore and evaluate current technologies and scalability factors for producing bio-based substrates.
- Lead studies on fiber properties, including length, strength, and bonding characteristics, and apply findings to improve substrate quality.
- Study pulping processes (chemical, mechanical, and semi-chemical) and their impact on fiber properties for various applications.
- Innovation and Process Development:
- Apply a nature-inspired approach to material innovation, exploring bio-based coatings, additives, and novel processing techniques.
- Develop formulations and processes to impart desired characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity, strength) to bio-based substrates, especially bagasse and other agricultural residues.
- Drive the application of advanced material science principles, such as nanocellulose, for enhancing substrate performance.
- Scalability and Manufacturing:
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to develop scalable processes for bio-based material production.
- Plan and execute trials and experiments to optimize processing parameters for improved yield, strength, and sustainability.
- Collaborate with partners and vendors to scale up processes, ensuring high product quality and achieving better yields at industrial scales.
- Testing & Analysis:
- Lead testing and evaluation of raw materials, intermediate products, and final substrates, using standardized procedures (e.g., tensile strength, tear resistance, water absorption).
- Analyze test data to derive actionable insights and drive continuous product improvement.
- Conduct compostability and biodegradability testing in alignment with industry standards.
- Product Specification & Validation:
- Develop product specifications based on scientific rationale, aligning substrate properties with desired end-product performance.
- Execute incremental trial modifications and finalize product specifications for new bio-based materials.
- Lead the validation of new products, ensuring they meet required performance and environmental standards.
- Collaboration & Reporting:
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior scientists and engineers.
- Communicate research findings, progress, and product development results to stakeholders and management through technical reports and presentations.
- Stay current with the latest research, industry trends, and regulatory requirements related to bio-based materials and sustainability.
