SMPC — Service of Polymers and Composite Materials

SMPC is an interdisciplinary research group whose activities focus on the design, synthesis, characterisation and processing of polymer materials.

Effective member of the Center of Innovation and Research in Materials and Polymers (CIRMAP), Dubois' group has developed scientific and technological skills allowing a step-by-step follow-up of the materials from their conception to their fate.

SMPC takes advantage of its expertise in macromolecular engineering and polymer processing to design well-defined materials, while its equipment facilities offer in-depth characterisation and a better understanding of resulting properties. Research activities span the development of new synthetic strategies as well as novel polymers or polymer materials for applications in energy, health, biomedical sciences, sustainable and (nano)composite materials.
