When answering this question, focus on detailing your practical experience with various polymer synthesis methods (e.g., step-growth polymerization, chain-growth polymerization) and characterization techniques (e.g., NMR, GPC, DSC, TGA). Provide specific examples of projects you've worked on, the techniques you used, and the outcomes. Highlight any innovative approaches or optimizations you implemented. For example:
"In my previous role at XYZ Corp, I worked on developing a new biodegradable polymer. I utilized ring-opening polymerization for synthesis and characterized the polymer using NMR and GPC to determine its molecular weight and structure. Additionally, I performed DSC and TGA to study its thermal properties. This project resulted in a polymer with improved degradation rates, which was a significant achievement for our team."
