Miss Letailiewx worked under my supervision on a very demanding confidential project, on the subject of industrial labelling adhesives. The successful conclusion of her project was demonstrated by the development of a novel labelling adhesive formulation, which has been tested with positive results by a customer. The launch of a new boitle labelling industrial adhesive, based om Miss LLetailloux’s work, will follow in the near future ‘The nature of this project required good capability in the following areas, for all of which Miss Letailleux reached and clemonstrated a high level of competence during the course of her placement -A sound general chemistry background, specifically in the subject area of protein & polysucchatide chemistry and biopolymer interactions, An ability to use the above knowledge for the successful forraulation and improvement of water based bottle labelling adhesives, “Setting up Response Surface ~ Experimental Designs for the investigation of raw material effects on the overall adhesive performance and use of the “Design Expert” software package. Widespread use and ability to set up methods of small and large deformation Rheological techniques, several specialised adhesive tests (eg. Tack, Sct Speed, Condensation Water Resistance etc), as well as the capacity to combine information from the above tests for the successful reformulation of adhesives. “Scaling up successful formulations fom the laboratory into 100kg rotating jacket heated pilot plant mixers. Extensive use of industrial scale adhesive applicators (Krones bottle iabelling stations) for the assessment of the machining properties of scaled up formulations, ~The capacity to analyse and interpret complex experimental data, as well as solve technical problems in the laboratory. A high level of tenacity and perseverance, even when tasks or technical problems she had fo overcome became comptex and challenging, Good time management and organisational skills in order t ensure a successful project conclusion. “Moceover, I was particularly impressed by Miss Lefalleux’s excellent communication and presentation skills, as demonstrated during numerous meetings and project reviews wit our Marketing department and Raw Material suppliers. Miss Letaileux is a hard working persoa, wino quickly adapted well within the multicultural and English speaking R&D environment of National Starch & Chemical. She achieved that through her excellent interpersonal skills and personal quits. After having supervised Miss Letaitiewx for a yeat, T am confident that she will be very successful in her remaining studies, as well as her fture career. Ihave no hesitation in strongly recommending her for any relevant post within the Chemical Industry. All of us at the R&D of National Starch & Chemical would like to thank her for her hard work and contribution and wish her every success for the fare, ‘Yours faithfully Associate - National Starch & Chemical @ Registre in Engiand No. 226707 Fegiterad Oto: Wrsor Cour, Kirgamoad Busnes Pak, Laon Road, High Wycombe, Bucks HP 1,J Lackierideen der Zukunft Reference of Internship Ms. Marie Letallloux, born 18.08.1981, was employed by our company from 08.06.2004 to 27.08.2004 as a trainee, During her internal training she was involved in our Aviation Laboratory Department. During her stay, Ms. Letailleux was highly involved in the corrosion protection of aluminium alloy used in aviation, the examination of using Sol-Gel pretreatment and the use of water-delutable coatings. She completed the following tasks: - Realisation of coating examinations - Production of coatings - Optimization of recepies - Examination of corrosion-behaviour - Treatment and examination of Sol-Gel layers During her stay in our company, she worked together with our Development Department and made a final report of her work. We found Ms. Letaillieux to be a conscientious and intelligent student, who showed high interest and enthusiasm in her work. Her personal ‘conduct vis-4-vis her superiors, colleagues and customers was always to our complete satisfaction. During her stay and work in Hamburg, Ms. Letaillieux improved her German knowledge very well. We thank her for her very good work and wish her success in a future career and personally all the best.
