Polymers & Composites
The objective of the team’s research is to understand the relationships between processing, microstructure, properties and durability of polymers, in the case of amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics, networks (elastomers and thermosets), and multiphase materials (composites, micro- or nano-filled polymers, polymer blends), using a multi-scale approach (molecular, macromolecular and macroscopic studies)
