Laboratoire de Génie des Procédés et des Matériaux (LGPM)
Research unit
LGPM focuses its research on materials and biomaterials, as well as the processes involved in their elaboration. The main themes are the physical mecanisms dictating material reation to an exterior sollicitation, separation and functionalization, and reactive transfers at interfaces (micro alguae). A large instrument platform allows the researchers to innovate in varied fields (biomedical, energy...)
