Chair for "Modeling of Advanced Polymers for Innovative Materials Solutions"

Launched in 2018, the "Design and Modeling of Innovative Materials" Chair as the result of a partnership between École Polytechnique and French chemicals company Arkema. The Chair explores R&D topics focusing on polymeric materials, thermoplastic composites and adhesives, with particular attention being given to the relationships between processes, structures and properties, and to the optimization of processes and mechanical properties. The partnership hopes to promote the application and use of modeling technology in industry. The Chair also aims to develop collaborative scientific research actions in strategic areas, namely through the recruitment of professors-researchers and the organization of scientific gatherings.
