The vast majority of the world’s petrochemical plastics are made from polyethylene (PE), which is very difficult for microorganisms…

The Research Day Projet de Fin d’Etudes is the culmination of months of research work by our 5th year engineering students. It’s an opportunity for them to present their final-year projects to a jury of over 50 industrial and academic partners, in front of a poster and in just 3…

Spotlight on intelligent galenic models Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) can be used to control doses, reduce the number of doses taken, and even improve compliance. Among DDS, polymers have been described as excipients in the galenic formulation of drugs (Nicolas & Couvreur, 2017). In particular, so-called “simple”, “stealth”,…

Spotlight on our expertise in green solvents. Solvents are essential to many industrial applications (fine chemicals, paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and detergents) thanks to their ability to dissolve or dilute other products. Mostly petrochemical, harmful and flammable, they account for almost 29% of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted…
