redondo workshop france 1920x700 v1

In the framework of the European project REDONDO (Reversibly Designed Cross linked Polymers, www.redondo-project.eu), ICGM is hosting a one-day workshop dedicated to polyethylene (PE), the most simple polymer and one of the oldest, yet, by far the most produced polymer in the world. Owing to is outstanding properties and versatility, PE is used in innumerable applications from mundane plastic bags to life saving prosthetics. This workshop, organised around invited lectures given by experts from universities and from the private sector of this polymer material, will provide a detailed overview of the syntheses, modifications, properties, ageing, vitrimerisation, and recycling strategies and methods, as well as the future directions of research and development that should be envisaged for this outstanding polymer.

RDC Informatics
RDC Informatics has more than 2 decades of successful presence in IT & New Technologies market specialising in software applications development & utilisation in corporate environments and in digital marketing. Their involvement in dozens of projects of every size, in both the public and private sectors, has made them highly renowned as experts in their field and allowed them to grow on national and international levels. Additionally, their services have been certified via the latest quality assurance protocols (ISO 9001 & ISO 27001) and recognised by the most well-known companies in the world (Google, Microsoft and others).

ICGM
CNRS partner consists in the polymer department and the molecular department of ICGM (Institut Charles Gerhardt de Montpellier). The ICGM has an expertise on the synthesis of polymers and vitrimers. The role of ICGM will be to determine the conditions to obtain reversible crosslinked PE, owing to various routes. Our recent works have allowed to demonstrate promising potential of Diels-Alder reversible crosslinking. Sylvain Caillol (DR CNRS) has expertise in the synthesis of reversible Diels–Alder structures, especially from natural phenols. Vincent Ladmiral (DR CNRS) has expertise in the synthesis of covalent adaptable networks, particularly with neighbouring groups activation. Eric Leclerc has expertise in the synthesis of monomers and the study of exchange reactions using model molecules.
