About Caother

Looking for support in materials R&D?I can assist you with your projects in characterization, material development, and chemical compatibility.

With 2 years of experience in an industrial environment, I specialize in:

- Characterization of polymer and composite materials (DSC, FTIR, accelerated aging, mechanical testing)
- Material development: formulation, selection, qualification, from lab to scale-up
- Chemical compatibility and performance in aggressive environments
- Surface treatments and coatings
- Technical writing: test reports, literature reviews, patent and CIR contributions

What I've delivered:

- A barrier coating POC validated under industrial conditions (compliance rate from 20% to 100%)
- A material selection methodology that increased the success rate from 30% to 80%
- Characterization reports, test plans, and material-process recommendations

Available immediately, in the Île-de-France region or for travel.
