heterophasic polymer materials / elastomers / rheology / additive manufacturing / recycling

Research themes/centers of interest

  • rheology of polymeric materials (filled polymers, multiphase and evolving systems, etc.): linear and non-linear viscoelasticity; development of original rheological tools
  • physico-chemistry of polymers / structure-properties relationships: elastomer networks; filled elastomers; natural fiber-filled composites; role of interfaces and interphases; impact of microstructure (crystallinity, porosity) and/or morphology on the properties of thermoplastic parts from additive manufacturing
  • polymer processing / modelling
    – Additive manufacturing :
    Laser sintering (SLS): study and modelling of polymer transformation (coalescence, porosity resorption, crystallisation).
    Filament extrusion (FFF/FGF) from recycled polymers.
    Silicone additive manufacturing (filament extrusion; SLA/DLP): development of formulations and processes.
    – Recycling processes of thermoplastics
    – Recycling/depolymerisation of silicones
