Team R&D - Jade and Nicolas
With the arrival of Jade in September 2018, R&D
engineer. Creative and curious, she has always been interested in the diversity
of materials and textures. Her curriculum was therefore oriented towards ITECH,
which offered her the opportunity to become an engineer working with raw
materials such as leather, plastic and textiles, while providing her with
knowledge of the chemistry that is essential for the development of these
materials. Impressed by the possibilities offered by fibers in terms of both
their raw materials and their shaping, she subsequently chose to open up to
textiles. Always interested in the technical side of textiles, she had the
chance to do an internship in sports textiles and then in medical textiles.
Eager to discover composites, she did her TFE at CTMI, leading to her current position
as an R&D engineer. Her mission is the identification and development of
technical solutions for the realization of products according to customer
specifications and involvement in the organization of R&D projects and the
realization of CIR. Thanks to her versatility and dynamism, Jade brings a lot
of knowledge for 3D fabrics and knitting.
Then the arrival in September 2019 of Nicolas,
formulation engineer/R&D quality control. Young graduate from a chemical
engineering school (ESCOM) with a specialization in formulated products and
applications. He did an internship at Sika Advanced Resins in Cergy Pontoise in
R&D of epoxy machinable boards. His missions are research and development
of new epoxy/cyanate resins for impregnation of woven reinforcements;
improvement of the range according to customers' technical specifications and
production quality control. Thanks to his knowledge of resins and their
physico-chemical properties, he brings to the R&D team a real flexibility
and adaptability of the technical offer of the use of resins in reinforcements
for customers as well as a greater reactivity on projects. The R&D team
achieves new objectives thanks to the innovation of its processes with the
acquisition of a new traction bench for mechanical properties. This enables it
to better respond to the technical and innovation demands of its customers.
