Thème de Recherche
My main research topics are in the field of phosphorus-containing polymers obtained either by post-modification of polymers or by conventional/controlled radical (co)polymerizations of phosphorus-containing monomers, which we are able to synthesize. The specific area targeted are among the fuel cell membranes, polymer coatings for corrosion protection, flame retardants.
I recently also investigated my research on the development of functionalized chitosan and oligomers of chitosan, aiming at developing a chemical platform onto bio-based chitosan for specific properties (coatings for metallic surfaces, surfactants, super-plasticizers, etc.)
