  Keywords
  Smart imprinted polymers, chelating polymers, porous polymers, sensors, extraction, pollutants
  Presentation
  Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers designed to mimic natural biological receptors like antibodies. In the classical non-covalent approach, a template molecule interacts with a functional monomer and a cross-linker in a porogen solvent. After polymerization, the removal of the template generates the recognition cavities inside the (…)

• Mechanical Structures & Human-structure interaction (MSH)
  16 July 2024, by IM

  The mechanical behavior control of structures or products, allows to optimize them to meet the specific requirements of extreme environments such as the marine environment. In addition, the ability to take into account the interaction between man and structure improves the structures or products compatibility and a help to their choice. Design and dimensioning of 3D printed structures (polymer or composite structures) for extreme environments such as the marine environment. Experimental and (…)

  Presentation
  Metallic corrosion is a global problem with a substantial economic impact. Corrosion can be slowed, managed or even stopped in almost all situations by using the proper corrosion protection method.
  The research activity of MAPIEM laboratory in this field includes: development of environmentally safe (…)

• Design of Materials and Sustainable Structures (DMSS)
  30 April 2024, by IM

  Presentation
  The second research topic concerns the design of sustainable materials used for example in the field of renewable energies (off-shore wind turbines) or for structures in marine environment. Particular attention is devoted to the development of new biobased polymer networks and composites such as bio-vitrimers, bio-hydrogels or cellulose-reinforced composites.
  The understanding of the mechanics behind the durability of cross-linked coatings and composite materials must be (…)

• Interfaces / Interphases Ageing (IIA)
  15 January 2018, by webmaster

  Presentation
  The ambition of IIA research topic is to develop new ageing methodologies and analyses at different scales, enabling us to identify the parameters influencing the degradation mechanisms of materials and interphases in order to develop prediction tools to determine the materials durability.
  The complexity of phenomena at interfaces is partly solved by the development of controlled chemistry and organization systems on different scales (time, dimension) considered as models of (…)

• Polymers for Marine Antifouling Systems (PMAS)
  15 January 2018, by webmaster

  Presentation
  Since the last 30 years, our objective has been to combat biofouling which settles on materials and structures immersed in the marine environment. Our team has a keen interest in developing environmentally friendly antifouling/fouling release strategies and in demonstrating their mechanisms of action using surface and bulk analysis techniques, field tests and bioassays developed in our lab. The inhibition of biofouling colonization requires combined methodologies of material (…)

• Microbial Ecology and Biochemistry of Marine Biofilms (MEBMB)
  15 January 2018, by webmaster

  Our main objectives are to decipher the relative influence of parameters that shape microbial biofilm communities and their biochemical production, but also to detect associated functions as the resistome or polymer biodegradation. Biofilm communities are usually described along with seawater parameters (temperature, salinity, nutrients, metallic and organic pollutants, hydrodynamics, …) and surface characteristics (wettability, rugosity, smoothness, texturation, chemical nature of (…)

• Signaling Systems involved in biofilm formation (SISYF)
  15 January 2018, by webmaster

  Presentation
  Due to the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemicals), new environmentally friendly and non-toxic antifouling strategies are being studied. One of the approaches is to find active molecules which will replace biocides that are currently on the market, with those that can be formulated in paints dedicated to ship hulls.
  The success of this strategy requires a good understanding of the mechanisms used by marine microorganisms to (…)
