Biosafety of mesoporous silica nanoparticles according to their surface coverage and establishing standards for evaluation – BioSiPharm
This project is in the context of nanoparticles for therapeutic and diagnostics. Recent studies show a growing interest towards silica mesoporous nanoparticles for therapeutic application and / or diagnosis. However there are very few studies about their potential toxicity. This area requires new methods that can be used to connect standard surface characteristics and toxicity.
New (photo)initiated polymerization processes for thick, filled, reinforced materials and new coatings. – Deep CURE
The Deepcure project is devoted to photopolymerizable materials which represent the field of expertise of both LPIM and Mäder. The issues that limit todays the development of such materials represents the two major topics of research in Deepcure. This concerns thick and highly pigmented photopolymerizable materials as well as new photopolymerizable coatings with advanced functionalities.

Eco-engineery applied to integrated management of As-rich tailings and acid mine drainage – IngECOST-DMA
Mining produces large quantities of sulphide-rich wastes that contain toxic elements such as arsenic together with valuable metals. They are disseminated toward the aquatic compartment by acid mine drainage (AMD). It is essential to develop innovative methods able to treat this effluents and recover valuable elements.
Self-adaptation of tropical agro-socio-ecosystems to global changes? A long term study for ecological intensification of cereal production in West African savannas. – CERAO

Pressures on Water and Soil Resources in Nepal Himalaya – PRESHINE
This pluridisciplinary research (geography, hydrology, glaciology, climatology) aims at compare climatic data (snow and glacier melting, precipitation variability) with discourses and water resource management by local population with increasing needs (domestic consumption, new irrigated cultures, micro-hydrolectricity development) on a territory henceforth controled by tourism economy.
Choc Detection by Innovative Reversible Piezochromic COatings for COMPosite Parts – CHOCOCOMP
change under pressure) dispersed in hybrid polymeric/sol-gel matrix are promising candidates. Quantification [...] of the probes in a “home-made” hybrid polymeric/sol-gel matrix: combination of piezochromic properties
Biological functionalisation of silicon substituted hydroxyapatite porous ceramics for bone tissue engineering – Céram-Os
He Céram-Os project relates to bone tissue engineering. It aims to develop a new generation of functionalized osteoinductive calcium phosphate bioceramic scaffolds able to maintain tissue volume and shape, control osteogenesis, guide and activate bone ingrowth and promote the vascular integration. Such ceramic scaffolds will provide an adapted surgical solution for the filling and repair of large bone defects as an alternative to cancellous bone autograft or metal implants.
Determining factors of thea difference in toxicity in intestine and liver for two similar sized nanoparticles used in food and packaging: In vitro and in vivo investigation on uptake and mechanisms involved – SolNanoTOX

Structural and morphological variability of Potato Starch and associated biological processes toward bio-plasTic production – PoStaTic
Starch is a renewable raw material that can be processed into plastics. Valuable properties are often obtained by modifying starch chemically after polymer isolation. Associated costs and carbon balance can be improved by optimizing starch structure and morphology in vivo.
