Responsibilities

Provide research support to the polymer and/or metal Additive Manufacturing Team on one or more of these key projects:

Discover the cutting-edge field of 3D printing with new chemistries to create high-performance materials and explore the effect of formulation on final material properties such as mechanical strength, energy dissipation, and aging in extreme environments

Investigate the applicability of rotational rheology and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for rapid measurement of properties relevant to the laser-based powder bed fusion and fused filament fabrication modalities of additive manufacturing

Build on previous SRNL work to further characterize 3D printed composites, probe the limits of composite composition ratio with respect to both printing and final part properties, and explore AM of other polymer composites such as pre-ceramic materials

Explore flow chemistry as a potentially suitable pathway for in-house synthesis of specialty polymeric materials for AM applications

Work with assigned mentor and Additive Manufacturing Team members to understand work processes and scope of project

Perform work safely using the Safe Conduct of Research Principles

Provide accurate, detailed, and timely written updates and reports associated with work scope
