Jobbeschreibung

Master Thesis in Investigation of the Influence of Reprocessing on the Material State of Engineering Plastics from End-Of-Life Vehicles and Re-additivation for Closed-loop Recycling

• Full-time

At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: we grow together, enjoy our work, and inspire each other. Join in and feel the difference.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Today, the manufacture of plastic products still relies almost exclusively on fossil raw materials. Mechanically recycled plastics have great potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to fossil-based raw materials, making products more sustainable. Currently, the use of recycled plastics in the automotive industry is mostly limited to post-industrial recyclate. There is a lack of distinct material flows for post-consumer recycled plastics, especially recycled engineering plastics. Since engineering plastics are used in large quantities in the automotive industry, this thesis aims to systematically investigate the influence of reprocessing on the material state of PA66 plastics from end-of-life vehicle components.

• Based on your results, you will develop a strategy to improve specific material properties through re-additivation, preparing the materials for closed-loop recycling.
• You will sort, shred, and clean the end-of-life vehicle components.
• Determining the material state after reprocessing is one of your tasks.
• Education: studies in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science/Engineering, or a comparable field
• Experience and Knowledge: in plastic properties, processing, and recycling is preferred; IT skills in data science are welcome
• Personality and Working Style: you are structured, communicative, and responsible, able to work independently
• Languages: good communication skills in written and spoken English and German

Start: according to prior agreement

Duration: 6 months

Requirement for this thesis is enrollment at a university. Please attach your CV, transcript of records, examination regulations, and if applicable, a valid work and residence permit.

Diversity and inclusion are integral to our corporate culture. We welcome all applications, regardless of gender, age, disability, religion, ethnicity, or sexual identity.
