Thesis worker 30 hp - Optimizing thermal curing processes of adhesives

Introduction:
Thesis work is an excellent way to get closer to Scania and build relationships for the future. Many of today's employees began their Scania career with their degree project.

Background:
Automotive cabins are reinforced with thermally cured adhesives. Optimizing the curing process could potentially lower carbon emissions by shortening cycle-times in and/or lowering the temperature of the curing oven.

Objective:
Scania are assessing and further developing current laboratory methods for modelling the curing process as well as investigating the effects of incomplete curing on material properties of adhesives.

Job description:
• Literature study on curing mechanisms and mechanical properties of adhesives
• Planning and performing material testing
• Method development of DSC and DMA measurements
• Characterization of material properties
• Evaluation of curing models

Education/program/focus:
Indicate education, program or focus: Polymer chemistry, materials technology

Number of students: 1
Start date for the thesis work: Beginning of 2026
Estimated time required: 20 weeks
