About the Project

The performance of the adhesive layer in a ceramic multi-layer armor system is a critical component in determining single- and multi-hit ballistic protection. This project aims to investigate the optimal surface preparation techniques for adhesive bonding of a ceramic front plate to a backing plate, for adhesives currently utilized in armor systems. The adhesive bond strength will be carefully characterized before ballistic performance characterization at TNO state-of-the-art ballistic test facilities.

Your Role

You will be responsible for conducting experimental research and characterizing the adhesive bond strength. Your tasks will include surface preparation, adhesive application, and ballistic testing. You will work closely with the TNO team to ensure the success of the project.

Requirements

  • You are in the final stages of your master's degree in physics, mechanical engineering, or a similar field.
  • You have experience in conducting experimental research and are focused on conducting reproducible research.
  • You have a track record in the field of material science, surface manipulation/characterization, or adhesive bond lines.

What We Offer

  • A highly professional and innovative internship environment within a team of top experts.
  • A suitable internship allowance.
  • Possibility of eight hours of free leave per internship month.
  • A free membership of TNO's employee network.
  • Use of a laptop.
  • An allowance for travel expenses.
