Materials scientist vs polymer materials consultant

Differences between materials scientist and polymer materials consultant duties and responsibilities

Materials scientist example responsibilities.

• Manage equipment calibration and maintenance to comply with CGMPs, FDA and OSHA
• Achieve API form stability improvement by encapsulation and subsequent analysis.
• Manage large-scale GMP manufacturing and pilot-scale trials for material development evaluations.
• Manage sample inventory via in-house laboratory information management system (LIMS) and implement additional systems for sample and chemical organization.
• Develop testing methods for characterizations of latent heat storage materials using DSC, TGA, and FTIR instruments.
• Study the film morphological properties by SEM, XRD, XRF.

Polymer materials consultant example responsibilities.

• Achieve completion date of turn over packages set by the FDA for validation of the critical systems which are previously noncompliant.
• Establish procedures that manage critical factors such as moisture sensitivity, electrostatic discharge, storeroom temperature and FIFO inventory staging system.
• Work in high-performance work system (HPWS) environment.
• Investigate various methods for processing ion exchange polymers and coacervates, including extrusion and crosslinking.
• Develop novel formulation and processing technologies resulting in IP filings, presentations at scientific conferences, and publication in peer-review journal.
• Execute program/project management functions in accordance with KPI's and communicate to higher corporate organizational levels.
