CHEMISTRY & NANOMATERIALS

Work package:
This Master 2 internship project is part of the collaboration between the company Nanomade and the Metallic Nanoparticle Engineering team at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC). The Company Nanomade is a start-up that develops and manufactures highly sensitive, ultra-thin, flexible, and customizable strain sensors. These sensors are integrated into three key domains, offering unprecedented potential across all industrial sectors, including performance-driven industries such as automotive and aerospace. The Research Laboratory The Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (CNRS) is a chemistry research lab with recognized expertise in fundamental research applied to various fields: catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry, and new materials. The host team develops tools for preparing nanomaterials with controlled morphological characteristics and properties. Missions You will join Nanomade’s chemistry R&D team as well as the LCC Metallic Nanoparticle Engineering group. Your missions will include: - Designing and managing multi-step experimental plans, formulation, and stabilization studies of colloidal solutions; - Carrying out physico-chemical characterizations of nanomaterials and colloidal solutions (sedimentation studies, chemical composition, electron microscopy, zeta potential, rheology, etc.); - Analyzing and presenting the results obtained to establish structure/property correlations of the studied nanomaterials and identify improvement opportunities; - Conducting scientific (academic publications) and technological (patents and industrial competitors’ commercial offers) monitoring.
