New POLlutant EMIssions from modern Euro 6 CarS: atmospheric transformations and implications for urban air quality and health – POLEMICS
The major scientific objectives addressed within POLEMICS are synthetized below: 1. to characterize and quantify novel or poorly characterized gaseous compounds are emitted by Euro 6 light-duty vehicles (as reduced nitrogen compounds, oxygenated compounds, intermediate-volatility OCs compounds)
Low Loading Asymmetric Catalysis with Helical Chiral Oligoureas – HCO_for_LLAC
Organocatalysis is part of the broader context of sustainable chemistry (metal-free processes, catalyst separation and recycling, etc.), addressing current societal challenges. Despite remarkable progress in the development and optimization of organocatalysts—recognized at the highest level with the
Pseudo-Chiral Resonators for the Optical Detection of Chiral Molecules – ChiROptMol
Chirality, a fundamental property of molecules, lies at the heart of biochemical processes. It influences the characteristics and functions of biomolecules, from amino acids to proteins. Understanding how biomolecules interact with surfaces is crucial for various applications, such as anti-bacterial
Photo-induced processes in multi-component surface-supported metal-organic frameworks – PhotoMOF
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials resulting from an ordered assembly of inorganic subunits and organic ligands. Extensively developed in fields such as storage, gas separation, or catalysis, the high diversity (composition, topology, porosity) of these hybrid structure
Nanowire based electrodes engineering for photocatalysis – BEEP
The main objective of BEEP is to fabricate and investigate the full applicability of semiconducting NWs as photoelectrode for water splitting, from growth, characterization and device fabrication to operation. We expect to obtain record PEC water splitting efficiencies for NW-based photoelectrodes.
Manganese complexes for PET and MRI: production of 52Mn and ligand design for stable and inert complexation – MANGA
The proposal has a double objective : to explore bispidine-type ligands for Mn complexation and to produce the Mn-52 isotope for the first time in France, in the cyclotron of Orléans. We identified bispidine complexes with unprecedented kinetic inertness which open new avenues in the development of
Study in Titanium Alloys of Multiaxial Processing – STAMP
In the aim of improving the industrial forging routes for titanium components, the STAMP project is dedicated to the study of the microstructural evolution during thermomechanical treatments of Ti64 alloys. Based on the industrial Knowledge (i.e. numerical simulation of the process), the microstruct
Dynamics of lysosomal amino acid transporters – LYSOTRANS
Our consortium aims at characterizing a lysosomal transporter involved in nutrient recycling and nutrient sensing using biochemical and biophysical approaches. This work is in progress. This project should help understand the mechanisms underlying the metabolic and signaling roles of lysosomes in he
Cloud Adaptation for an Agile Supply Chain – CAASC
The project considers independent partners in a supply chain. To coordinate their activities, they exchange deterministic plans, which are reviewed periodically in a rolling horizon process. These processes are supported by widely-used integrated software packages (ERP, DRP), but are subject to a hi
Advanced magnetocaloric materials for adiabatic refrigeration – Matadire
The existing ADR technologies utilize commercially available paramagnetic salts that are efficient at low temperatures 0.1-0.2K. To develop magnetic refrigeration into a competitive cooling technique for a wide temperature range 0.1-4K we performed detailed experimental and theoretical investigation
