Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. In this, the course’s goal is to provide basic knowledge about the principles of green chemistry, with a basis in the molecular and materials chemistry, and examines alternative chemistry solutions to support a sustainable development. The level of understanding should be such that the students in their professional career critically can participate in discussions regarding selection and design of chemical methods (i.e., reactions, processes) for enlarged sustainability in industrial production of chemicals, materials and fuels, and to avoid environmental stress caused by pollution and energy-related problems. Students acquire the competence to think of chemistry as a sustainable activity. Basic knowledge in catalysis and organic chemistry is beneficial but not necessary. The course content will include a series of lectures using Power Point slides, case studies, exercises and in-class oral presentations by the students. Students should keep up with assigned reading and ask questions in class or by email.

Thermodynamics is known to characterize a system macroscopically in terms of energy (and entropy). However, the microscopic nature of any system (known from quantum mechanics) imposes us to link the macroscopic view to the microscopic properties of the particles (atoms, molecules…) composing the system. The lectures and the tutorials will give tools using statistics to describe the state of a system, will focus on the different energy levels of atoms and molecules and how to use them, and will extend the description of the thermodynamic functions. Applications will be performed on simple chemical reactions. 9 hours of lectures and 7.5 hours of tutorials are dedicated to this course.

The properties of these amphiphilic copolymers in water are presented in relation to the diversity of industrial applications offered by these materials. After an introduction to the different classes of amphiphilic copolymers (topologies, microstructure, natural or synthetic polymers, stimulables), the challenges associated with their characterization and processing will be discussed in relationship with the targeted properties related to applications.

Structure du cours :

The lecture will be divided as follows

Industrial applications of amphiphilic copolymers

1. Definition and library of structures of amphiphilic copolymers based on natural or synthetic copolymers
2. Tools to tune the amphiphilic behavior
3. Challenges of production and characterization of amphiphilic copolymers
4. Roles and specifications of amphiphilic copolymers for diverses applications: rheology modifiers, thickeners, hydrogels, emulsifier, dispersant, colloidal particules.

The properties will be discussed in relation to various industrial sectors: building, paints, cosmetics, biomedical, filtration membranes, agri-food…

The objective of this course is to establish a state of the art of polymer-based nanocomposites. After defining nanocomposites, we review the main processing methods for these materials, focusing on the specific issues and challenges they raise. We then study the specific properties of nanocomposites, with a particular focus on their relationship with the nanoscale of the fillers. We end up with studying several applications.

The teaching strategies of this course include traditional course and several case studies.

Course description:  The objective is to introduce to students organic and hybrid (organic-inorganic) materials presenting a nanometer-scale structure such as nanocomposites & block copolymers. We will see that nano-structuration can induce or accentuated properties compared to usual materials.

Course structure: During the lectures a presentation will be given on :

1. Introduction to the nanoWORLD !

2. Observe, manipulate and characterize at the nanoscale

3. Organic nanomaterials and their applications

Nanocomposites & Block copolymers for nanolithography, ion diffusion in battery & fuel cell, etc. (based on published papers)

The course will be supplemented by TD sessions during which specific scientific papers will be discussed. Finally, at the end of the semester, the students will have to prepare and present a presentation on a chosen topic based on nanomaterials.
