The Chemicals and Materials sector, also highly diversified, is working on current problems raised by industry in this sector, relating to the environment, polymers, pharmacology, process chemicals, food processing, textiles and energy.
Here are a few examples of the areas covered by the research laboratories of Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille: |
| |
Polymers: organic polymers for surface modification (cyclodextrines, biocompatible polymers), polymer materials with high added value (applications in the astronautics industry for manufacturing rocket nose cones for example), etc. |
| |
Ceramics, glass and refractory materials, and their applications in the design of new industrial packaging, or land transport safety, including the production of materials with fire-retardant properties, etc. |
|
|
Cleaning products for consumers: products with specific properties for cosmetics; pharmaceutical proprietary products; paints and varnishes, etc. |
| |
Structural analysis, simulation and modelling (e.g. analysis of structural defects in metals), for studying behaviour, fatigue, damage, failure of materials and structures, and for the analysis of structural defects in metals, etc. |
| |
Products and processes for the development of anticorrosion processes; study of resistance under extreme conditions (high temperatures, radiation, vibrations, etc.). |
