Research areas
Our research activities turn around energy technologies, environmental applications and sustainable development. Our research program is based on the collaboration of scientists from many disciplines (chemistry, physics, synthetic chemistry, characterization chemistry and microelectronic engineering) combining fundamental and applied interests. Our main areas of research are:
- Nanosciences and shaping of nanomaterials
- Molecular self-assembly and nanostructures
- Green chemistry and environmentally friendly synthesis processes
- Energy and energy storage
- Organic synthesis and natural macromolecules
The uniqueness of our platform comes from our expertise, from our entire group of instruments, and from our ability to not only be able to synthesize new nanomaterials, but to characterize, formulate and integrate them into new devices, thus offering a unique collaborative environment.
Analysis Services
We offer characterization and analysis services by making our infrastructure and equipment available to other academic institutions and manufacturers. NanoQAM offers access to several analysis services:
- Nanomaterials synthesis
- Thermal and physical characterizations
- Optical and spectroscopic characterizations
- Microscopy and size measurements
- Electrochemical measurements
- Chromatographic characterizations
- Printing and filing systems
- Engravings and surface treatments
Management
NanoQAM is managed by a committee made up of a scientific director, an assistant director and a technical director. One of the aspects at the heart of NanoQAM’s mission and governance policies is to make its equipment and the expertise of its personnel available in characterization, synthesis and design of materials accessible to all university and industrial communities.
