  Edzang, R. W. N.; Lejars, M.; Brisset, H.; Raimundo, J.-M.; Bressy, C. RSC Advances, 2015, 5 (94), 77019–77026
  Abstract :
  Herein are reported the synthesis and the full characterization of three new ferrocenyl monomers, namely 2-(ferrocenylmethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (FMOEMA), 3-(ferrocenylmethoxy)propyl methacrylate (FMOPMA) and 4-(ferrocenylmethoxy)butyl methacrylate (FMOBMA), synthesized from ferrocenemethanol. Homopolymers were prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain (…)

• Multispecies Biofilm Development of Marine Bacteria Implies Complex Relationships Through Competition and Synergy and Modification of Matrix Components
  16 April 2019

  Guillonneau, R.; Baraquet, C.; Bazire, A.; Molmeret, M. Front. Microbiol. 2018, 9. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.01960
  Abstract : Microbial communities composition is largely shaped by interspecies competition or cooperation in most environments. Ecosystems are made of various dynamic microhabitats where microbial communities interact with each other establishing metabolically interdependent relationships. Very limited information is available on multispecies biofilms and their (…)

• Comparative effects of humid tropical weathering and artificial ageing on a model composite properties from nano- to macro-scale
  2 November 2015, by webmaster

  Belec, L.; Nguyen, T. H.; Nguyen, D. L.; Chailan, J. F. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing 2015, 68, 235–241
  Abstract :
  The effects of humid tropical conditions and artificial ageing tests on a UD glass-fibre/epoxy composite are compared at different scales. A modified network of 500 nm width around each fibre is identified by AFM force measurements. The evolution of this interphase is correlated to the composite embrittlement observed in transverse bending tests (…)
