Odile Fichet
(53 yo) – Professor at LPPI (CY) since 2005
Research Topics: Her main research theme concerns the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials based on Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) architectures, ie polymer blends at least one of which is crosslinked to the present of the other. These materials are designed and created « to order » to meet a need in a given application. Thus, such materials have been elaborated for fuel cell membranes, but also membranes to protect air electrodes in metal-air batteries. Furthermore, high performance polymer networks have been designed for encapsulation in power electronics. The lifetime of these materials is systematically studied under the use conditions for which they are intended.
