CY LPPI - Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Polymers and Interfaces
The Laboratory comprises research lecturers from various fields: polymerists, electrochemists, inorganic chemists, surface and interface physicists. Our main expertise concerns (interpenetrating) polymer networks and π-conjugated (macro)molecules (or electronically conductive polymers), with the specificity of going from the synthesis and physicochemical characterisation of materials to their integration in devices, which are then studied.
