Alain Dufresne: honored as a nanocellulose pioneer

Distinguished in the Clarivate and Stanford international rankings, Alain Dufresne has established himself as a world reference in the field of nanocelluloses. His research, combining innovation and sustainability, is paving the way for polymer materials with a wide range of applications.

Joint research unit 5518

LGP2, a source of innovation

Recognized in France and internationally, LGP2 conducts research on the valorization of plant biomass, the development of bio-based materials (paper, cardboard, composites), recycling processes, nanocelluloses, printing processes for surface functionalization and printed electronics. As part of ecodesign principles and sustainable development issues, this research contributes to reducing the impact of human activities on the environment.
