CCS Team
Head of Team: Didier Le Cerf, Professor, University of Rouen Normandy
The main activity of the CCS Team focuses on developing and studying volume and interface properties of macromolecular systems and modifying a surface state by polymer adsorption or polymerization. The controlled architecture systems are able to self-organize and/or interact with other compounds (proteins, polysaccharides, molecules, cells, bacteria) in aqueous solution and near solid surfaces (microparticles, asymmetric membranes, dense films etc.) and/or liquids.
Keywords:
Chemical modification and functionalization of polysaccharides; Chemical and physicochemical characterization of polysaccharides; Surface analysis
Examples of achievements:
- Functionalization of polysaccharides
- Thermosensitive hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid grafted with polyoxazoline (MM team collaboration)
-
- Modification of the surface state of cellulose nanocrystals for the stabilization of Pickering emulsion (ANR DryWater)
- Development of non-stick and/or bactericidal packaging by covalent immobilization of modified hyaluronic acid (FUI Stabipack project)
- Chemical and physicochemical characterization of polysaccharides
- Atypical behavior in solution of a polysaccharide secreted by a microalgae (ANR polysalgue)
-
- Hydrogels with theranostic properties to fight against glioblastoma (RIN Normandy Region)
- Particles and membranes for biomedical purposes
- Antibiofilm nanoparticles (BRICS team collaboration) for molecular imaging of atherothrombosis (ANR NANOPACT)




-
- Asymmetrical membranes loaded with antibiofilm compound for chronic wound healing (MPBM team collaboration)
In order to conduct our studies
We apply polymer synthesis and chemical modification, characterization of polymers in solution and at interfaces as well as surface characterization.
We have initiated collaborations with all PBS laboratory teams and with colleagues in France and worldwide as part of ARN (French Agency for Research) or bilateral projects.
