Colloids, interfaces, assemblies

The CIA team aims to design and formulate innovative materials with original functions by making the best use of its skills in soft matter physico-chemistry, colloidal engineering, integrative chemistry and self-assembly strategies. These concepts are useful in fundamental science as well as for solving problems with socio-economic issues, with many examples in the agro-food, phytosanitary, cosmetics, (nano-) photonics, functional coatings or for the production and storage of clean energies.
