End:

Summary: 

The Project consists in the study of
the synthesis of polyamides by anionic
polymerization of lactams. The final object
is to optimize a synthetic path that allows
the use of monomers proceeding from
natural sources. The different components
(monomers and additives) are studied as
a function of their initial characteristics
(content of humidity). Conditioning costs
and optimal polymerization conditions are
determined that allow to prepare polymer/
fibre composites for applications in the
construction area. Budget: 141.000 €
