Areas of work

Controlling the structural variability of biopolymers, nanocrystals and nanofibres Surface modification of nanocelluloses Hybrid particles

We are exploring phase separation, long-range organisation (alignment), small molecule diffusion and hydration, analysing the consequences for rheological/mechanical properties and enzymatic reactivity with :

The team's expertise in functional building blocks and directed assembly methods is applied to the development of innovative materials. In addition to the use of bio-based materials with the expected functionalities (interfacial stability, alignment, gelling, etc.), the ambition is to develop multifunctionality and even move towards materials that modify their behaviour according to their history. The other ambition is to look globally at the environmental and economic impact of the materials we produce at certain stages in their life cycle.
