Research team
Our research activities are based on an internationally recognized expertise in organic synthesis, homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. At present, our research focuses on polymerization catalysis, hybrid catalysis, colloidal physicochemistry and formulation. Through the diverse and complementary expertise of our researchers, we are able to approach and envisage research projects that range from the molecule to the end product, while integrating the principles of green chemistry. The research carried out by our team is mainly aimed at developing new methodologies for the synthesis of catalysts, at eco-designing new functional, molecular and macromolecular compounds, and at developing new tools and methods necessary to understand the mechanisms and modes of action. Our researchers are involved in numerous academic and industrial collaborative projects at the regional, national, European and international levels.

- METHOD FOR FREE RADICAL POLYMERISATION IN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION
The present invention relates to a process for radical polymerization in aqueous suspension using, as initiator, at least one peroxide derivative and, as activator of the said peroxide derivative, at least one ferrocene species, characterized in that the polymerization is carried out wholly or partly in the presence of a catalytic amount of the said ferrocene species and in the presence of at least one reducing agent of the cationic ferricinium form. The present invention further relates to an aqueous suspension free radical polymerization medium as well as the use of ascorbic acid or an ester thereof to generate a ferrocene species from its ferricinium salt. - METHOD FOR FUNCTIONALISING A STEREOREGULAR POLYDIENE
The present invention relates to a method for the end functionalisation of trans-1,4 stereoregular polydiene chains obtained by the coordination catalysis polymerisation of at least one conjugated diene monomer. It also relates to a polydiene having a trans-1,4 chain formation rate of at least 85%, preferably at least 90%, and an end functionalisation rate higher than 70%, preferably higher than 80%, and more preferably higher than 90%.
