6. EPCP Since 10 years, EPCP group synthesizes new polymers dedicated to different application and proposes new structures to improve the end-use properties : To create optical effects or tactile properties, we synthesize nano- segregated polymers (copolymers) or structured surface (honeycomb, core@shell deposited onto the surface). micro et nanostructured polymers. 1) micro et nanostructured polymers. Amphiphile Systems based on natural/synthetic polymers and inorganic/polymer hybrids - Modelling 2) Polymers for applications in aqueous phase 2) Polymers for applications in aqueous phase.
