The research organization of Teijin Aramid in Arnhem employs about 150 people. Research is carried out to improve existing products and processes and to develop new technologies.

For the department of Monomers & Polymers Teijin Aramid is looking for students who wish to do a Internship monomer synthesis and who are interested in organic chemistry.

The department

The department Monomers & Polymers in Arnhem performs research for the monomer/polymer production plants, which are located in Delfzijl.
