I completed four semesters of co-op at the Bridgestone Research Center. Each semester consisted of various tasks to help in the development of new materials for tire and non tire applications (insulation, air springs, golf balls, etc.). Below is a list of tasks/skills from each semester. 2013 • Support production plant through modification of block co-polymer for use in insulation • Assist in creating new chemical inventory system • Use semi-batch polymerization to analyze effects on selectivity for pilot plant • Produced polymer for tires through bulk polymerization 2012 (Two Semesters) • Submitted Patent Disclosure for new tire tread polymer • Designed and executed steam desolventization process • Produced SBR polymer in five gallon reactors • Training and experience in Lock Out Tag Out procedures • Support production plant by performing troubleshooting of catalyst system • Completed polymer aging study for effects of polymer being stored in plants • Performed reactor maintenance including replacing check valves, control valves, and piping 2011 • Tested polymers with Mooney Viscosity Machine and FTIR Machine • Produced polymers for use in air springs • Designed and carried out contamination study for effects on polymerization for pilot plant • Created functional polymer database for company wide use
