(nano)structured materials / diffusion-interaction mechanisms and modelling / barrier materials / membranes / ageing

Research themes/centers of interest

  • Functional materials
  • Design of (nano)structured polymer-based materials to control the interaction and diffusion properties of gases, liquids and vapours: application to barrier materials, selective films, active membranes
  • Study and modelling of small molecules interaction/diffusion mechanisms in polymers and multimaterials
  • Transport of small molecules as a probe of materials and their evolution under ageing conditions
