Research areas


This program addresses the interaction of organic compounds in the preparation or synthesis of inorganic materials, particularly hydraulic binders. The topics studied take advantage of the synergy between two areas of investigation : the first one considers the physico-chemistry of ligno-cellulosic derivatives, the other one the physicochemistry of inorganic compounds for construction and ceramics.
Current research deals with :
 study of interaction between wood and gypsum (synthesis of a composite material with gypsum matrix reinforced with processed wood fibers)
 study of interactions of polysaccharides from natural origin in cement coatings
 effects of temperature, time, atmosphere parameters on the thermal treatment of wood.
