Christophe Chassenieux Ph.D.

I am interested in controlling the associations of polymers in solution in order to elaborate nanostructured macromolecular assemblies. My main objective is to be able to generate original macroscopic properties such as rheological ones (yield stress, shear-thickening, thermo-thickening …) by designing, synthesizing and characterizing new macromolecules. My experimental approach is based on multiscale studies to gather a clear image of these systems at different time and length scales thanks to NMR, Scattering Techniques, Microscopy and Rheology.
