Scientific Interests

• Substitution of oil-based monomers in the field of materials.
• Natural phenolic compounds (from biomass residues): extraction, identification

and quantification.

• Chemical and chemo-enzymatic functionalization of these natural phenolic compounds.
• Using the modified or non-modified phenolic compounds in the formulation
• f new bio-based polymers.
