Bharat Odedra
Biography
I provide expert consultancy in water based and solvent based polymers, from R&D, pilot, scale up, plant process troubleshooting, polymer characterisation to business development, IP protection/disputes and licensing.
I am highly experienced in industrial emulsion, miniemulsion, and solution polymerisation (water and solvent based). I have collaborated with a large number of the leading emulsion polymerisation industrialists and academics. I have run industrial emulsion polymerisation training in several continents, as well as visiting plants for current process troubleshooting and solving scale up issues.
I have 27 years in the polymer industry, 19 working at Synthomer (latterly co-leading the R&D group), and have a proven track record for bringing innovative products and technology platforms to the marketplace.
I have acted as the main technology translator for licensing opportunities at clients. I have also been invited industrial lecturer at Imperial College, London on the Masters Chemical Engineering course.
