Working on the ARCOCE project in cooperation with SNECMA PROPULSION, in order to developp lighter and less noisy plane engines. This project also aims to contribute to less CO2 emmission as well as to less fuel consumption. As I am concerned, I am specially working on the damage tolerance of fiber reinforced matrix composites (CMC) which are used in some components (i.e. the nozzle) of the plane engine. In function for a fixed term, I am staying attentive to interesting offers.

Mission: Survey about the relationship between strain-induced crystallisation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (i.e. PET) and its mechanical behaviour during bottle processing. Partners: LOGOPLASTE, BOXMORE, AISAPACK (bottles manufacturers), ARKEMA et TERGAL (raw material), NESTLE WATERS (food products). European project APT_PACK (Advance knowledge of polymer deformation for Tomorrow’

Achievements: - Bibliography reviews - Stabilisation of the mechanical glass reinforcement obtained by hybrid coatings developped in aqueous solutions. - Modelling study of the mechanical reinforcement involved - Improvement and evaluation of the protective performances of the different coatings of the survey. - Results interpretation - Scientific report

Achievements: - Bibliography reviews - Development of a method for thin silica films synthesis, nanostructured by P123 copolymer. - Determination of the synthesis key parameters driven to the stability of the films. - Onset of functionalisation of the film’s pores by a chromophore molecule. - Possible applications: anti-glare surface treatment, optical gate (rapid switch). - Results interpretation - Scientific Report
