Offer Description

Tasks will include :
* Experimental work on polymer synthesis and characterization
* Supervision of trainees
* Participation in the scientific life of the laboratory’s 2 teams
* Writing scientific articles and disseminating results

* Epoxidation of erucic acid and direct polymerization of the epoxidized fatty acid
* Synthesis of linear and branched polyesters from erucic acids mono-hydroxylated in different positions
* Structural, thermal and rheological characterizations of the polyesters obtained

The Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques (LCPO) is a joint research unit attached to the CNRS, the Université de Bordeaux and the Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux (http://www.lcpo.fr ). The LCPO comprises 4 research teams and employs nearly 150 people, including some 50 permanent staff.

With almost 40 years’ experience in polymer chemistry, LCPO’s research focuses on :
– develop innovative methodologies for the synthesis of precision polymers, notably through biomimetic and/or green chemistry approaches.
– develop functional polymer materials through macromolecular engineering and self-assembly, particularly in the fields of renewable materials, health and energy.
– establish lasting links with the socio-economic world.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Frédéric Peruch and Henri Cramail in LCPO teams 1 and 2. He/she will work within the framework of ACTPAC’s European HORIZON project. He/she will hold a Master’s degree in Polymer Science.

Team 1, entitled “Catalyses and polymerization engineering”, is headed by Frédéric Peruch. The team develops alternative strategies for the synthesis of “tailor-made” polymers:
– the design of catalytic systems for highly selective polymerization reactions
– development of recyclable, bio-inspired catalytic nanoreactors operating in aqueous media
– engineering of polymers, nanoparticles or nanostructures for targeted functions and applications.

Team 2, entitled “Biopolymers and bio-based polymers”, is headed by Henri Cramail http://www.lcpo.fr/team-2-biopolymers-bio-sourced-polymers/ .
The team designs biosourced polymers based on polyaddition/polycondensation routes. The main bio-resources studied are :
– vegetable oils
– oligosaccharides and biophenols
