                           INTERNSHIP


              Mr. Muzaffar Bin Mustafar



           Industry: Top Quality Glove Sdn Bhd (F19)

           Industry Sector: Manufacturing
           Position: Trainee in Research & Development
           Department

           The  internship  module  by  Bachelor  of  Science  in
           Chemistry  enabled  me  to  learn  about  the
           manufacturing  process.  This  includes  incoming  raw
           material  chemicals,  compounding,  in  process,  and
           finished  products.  I  had  the  opportunity  to  handle
           instruments such as IR Spectra Analyzer, Particle Size
           Analyzer,  Zeta  Potential  Analyzer,  Contact  Angle
           Analyzer,  Scanning  Electron  Microscope  (SEM),  and
           Energy  Dispersive  Xray  (EDX).  Besides  that,  I
           performed testing methods for chemicals and gloves
           such  as  chemical  stability,  ash  content  test,  tensile
           strength  test,  coefficient  friction  test,  cast  film  test,
           powder  level  test,  foaming  height  test,  and  overall
           migration  test.  In  addition,  I  carried  out  the  "hand
           dip" procedure using a new formulation of latex glove.


           The internship module of the Bachelor of Science in
            Chemistry improved my soft skills. I learned how to
           manage my time to complete the daily tasks.  In the
           R&D  department,  I  was  also  involved  in  assisting
           other  researchers  in  troubleshooting  process  and
           learned to be independent. This internship helped me
           to improve my communication skills with colleagues
           and     the    higher    management.        Through      this
           opportunity given by Universiti Malaya, I am prepared
           mentally and physically for employment.
