Research themes/centers of interest

Daniel Portinha’s research activities focus on different aspects of polymer chemistry: 1/ macromolecular synthesis (radical polymerization, ring opening polymerization of lactone and organosiloxanes) and/or chemical modification of synthetic polymers (Michael addition, nucleophilic substitution) such that they can develop supramolecular interactions (homo or hetero-complementary), likely to assemble at surfaces (elaboration of multilayer films) or in bulk to prepare materials with unique properties (self-healing or increased elastomeric elongation, etc.), 2/ the development of synthesis strategies respecting the principles of sustainable development for i/ preparing biobased and/or biodegradable functional and structural polymers, or for ii/ allow them to be reused (reversible covalent chemistry) or recycled. Recently, he joined the team in charge of activities around polycondensation pilots, which can be used to prepare, for example, up to 2.5 kg of polyester/synthesis.
