Assessing structure property relationships of biosourced copolymers – ASPIRE
limited carbon footprint, polysaccharide-based materials are attractive alternatives to fossil carbon based [...] glyco-enzymology, protein engineering, polymer and material sciences, ASPiRe will design novel biosourced [...] routes for the synthesis of biosourced smart materials will be proposed.
Azaphosphatranes in confined space for CO2 valorization – AZAP-CO2
The AZAP-CO2 project brings together researchers from supramolecular chemistry, materials science and theoretical chemistry to produce metal-free highly engineered molecular, supramolecular and nested catalytic cavities to catalyze the enantioselective cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to substituted epoxides. The use of carbon dioxide, a renewable feedstock, to produce cyclic carbonates is particularly attractive both for carbon management and sustainable development.
Behaviour, modelling and simulation of structural bonding subjected to a large range of temperature, loading rate and aging – COSICO
Composite materials are extensively used in marine renewable energy systems due to their high stiffness

Biological and synthetic nanostructures investigated by solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance – NanoSSNMR
Supramolecular assemblies of proteins and peptides are ubiquitous in living cells and play key roles in many biological processes. Non-covalent assemblies of protein and peptide subunits form nanostructures such as fibrils, filaments, pores, nanotubes, etc. to execute crucial biological functions (transport across membranes, bacterial secretion, infection, prion propagation, etc.). Determine the atomic architecture of these nanostructures is a technological challenge.
Boron removal from silicon with large area reactors – BRESILAR

The material quality will be evaluated in both phases, with [...] the results of the small scale experiment, the material it produced, and its extrapolated performance [...] models and experiments available), and of the material quality (various characterization methods available)
CALIXARENE MOLYBDENUM BASED (ELECTRO)CATALYSTS FOR NH3 PRODUCTION UNDER MILD CONDITIONS – CalixMo
This multidisciplinary project was expected to contribute to the obtention of the first competitive molecular catalyst or electrocatalyst for NH3 production from N2 under mild conditions. In order to approach this ambitious objective, we proposed to synthesize a series of new mononuclear molybdenum complexes with mixed N/P/S ligands using a calixarene-based molecular edifice, as potential catalysts or electrocatalysts for N2 reduction into NH3 at ambient pressure and temperature.
