R&D Team Lead

Your Role And Responsibilities

You will be part of Materials Technology & Electromagnetics team at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås, Sweden. At Corporate Research we lead the innovation within ABB and our task is to ensure ABB's technology competitiveness now and in the future. We work in close collaboration with other research centers, our business areas: Motion, Automation and Electrification, as well academic and industrial partners. In our creative and highly skilled team we develop, design, build and test new concepts and prototypes of physical and digital powertrains or electrical devices.

The circularity of several materials is emerging as key aspect for sustainable technologies. The recovery by recycling needs to be improved and future technical products need to be designed for end-of-life disassembly.

For improving recovery efficiency, de-bondable interfaces would be an enabler for circular designs. Here adhesive is in focus to enable sufficient temperature class but still de-bondable at the end of product service life.

Research Topics

Reversible adhesive for debonding of permanent magnets

Goals

Evaluate adhesive formulations based on chemical, thermal and adhesive properties Assessment of de-bonding performance on selected disassembly process/es
