Lorenzo Settineri

· Writing and evolution of materials & processes specifications: risk management, planning, technical milestones, capitalization, training.

• Bibliographic research work: stripping, radiation

· Static and dynamic dimensioning of mechanical parts (LCF and HCF) under ANSYS Workbench

Study of the incorporation of bio-based polymers in cables

· Preparation of different sheath formulations (weighing, internal mixer and twin-screw)

· Testing and characterization of formulations (water absorption, fire and smoke, mechanical, microscopy)

· Improvement of formulations (physical or chemical modification of the polymer)

· Scientific watch in English to define the choice of polymer

Study of the interest of multilayer films based on several polymers for food packaging

Production of films via the coextrusion process. Optical characterization of films (AFM, SEM) and XRD to understand their structure and analysis of their properties via DSC, TGA, tensile testing, permeability tests to improve their properties
