Thesis on Reversible Adhesives for Circular Design

About the role

Join ABB's Materials Technology & Electromagnetics team at Corporate Research in Västerås to work on a master thesis focused on reversible adhesives for circular product design. You will evaluate adhesive formulations and assess de‑bonding performance to enable easier disassembly of permanent magnets at end‑of‑life.

Key responsibilities

• Evaluate adhesive formulations based on chemical, thermal and adhesive properties.
• Assess de‑bonding performance on selected disassembly processes.

Required profile

• Master level education in Material Design, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Chemistry, Organic Chemistry or Biochemistry.
• Ability to work independently under supervision and solve industrial problems.
• Strong motivation and good communication skills in English.

Required skills

• Experience with polymeric formulation design.
• Experimental work with adhesives.
