About you and this role

We are looking for you, an ambitious Bachelor student, to support our Advanced Elastomers Product Development by doing an internship project to understand the impact of filler properties on application behavior of formulated sealants and adhesives and develop methods of physico-chemical and rheological characterization of typical fillers for our location in Seneffe, Belgium.

Dow is offering great career opportunities in a global and international environment.
The department that will welcome you support businesses like Building & Infrastructure as well as Mobility & transportations applications.  Products are typically adhesives and sealants. Although a lot of hands-on formulation knowledge exists, there are still areas where the function -property relationship is unclear and or not fully understood. One underdeveloped domain is the interaction of the fillers with complex adhesive/sealant matrices.

Project description  

The objective of your internship is to develop relevant methods of physico-chemical and rheological characterization of typical fillers. The final goal is to build mechanistic understanding of how the moisture, the specific surface treatment etc. of typical fillers impact the processability and workability of sealants and adhesives. You will work in collaboration with our technical team based at Seneffe and will engage with other groups in production or technical service. This project will support key applications in the Building & Infrastructure segment.

Responsibilities

• Work on formulation of sealants & adhesives
• Characterize silicone sealants & adhesives
• Develop methods of physico-chemical and rheological characterization of typical fillers
• Collaboration with our team and engage with different teams to communicate results and learnings

Qualifications

• You are currently studying for a bachelor/master's degree or equivalent in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science or relevant discipline.
• You have a good working knowledge of English and French.

Your Skills

• Understanding of Polymer characterization techniques  (Analytical and Mechanical)
• Analysis of Granulated Matter and /or Complex Fluids and/or Dispersed Systems
• Interest in Formulation
• Eye for detail
• Autonomy

Additional notes

You can start between anytime in 2026, ideally during the 1st semester, for a period of minimum 3 months up to 4-5 months (exact timing to be discussed).
