While I imagine the market is small for chemists at the big manufacturers, I was obviously surprised there was at least one synthetic organic chemist working at two of the larger manufacturers in the world...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-72021100617656234822022-02-09T08:18:43.563-05:002022-02-09T08:18:43.563-05:00Coatings, adhesives, electrical potting, and fiber...Coatings, adhesives, electrical potting, and fiber-reinforced composites are a few examples of chemists working on car raw materials. Of course, it's usually a formulator company making an automotive coating or adhesive and not the actual car company. If you go further up the chain, these formulations include plenty of specialized additives such as wetting and toughening agents. Lots of chemists are indirectly involved in the auto industry.KTnoreply@blogger.com
