Research team: Procédés de Recyclage et de Fonctionnalisation (PReF)

Research

Reaction and resistance to fire: - development of fireproofing solutions for materials, - development of characterisation methodologies to understand of the fire behavior of fireproofed materials during the decomposition and combustion, - development of fire tests to mimick more realsitic fire senarios at small scale.

Teaching

Analytical, physical and macromolecular chemistry, safety, green polymer processing, bio-composites
