Within the team 'Physicochemistry of glycopolymers' run by Dr Redouane Borsali, and in the framework of Cermav approaches on multi-scale structural characterization on glycomaterials, we develop radiation scattering techniques.
These techniques allow for instance to characterize nano-organized self-assemblies (particles,micelles, vesicles, films...) based on glycopolymers.
These different systems find interest in diverse application domains: molecular recognition, functionalized nanoparticles and glycofilms for future technologies (nanoelectronics, nanobiosciences...).

Characterization of materials
The technical platform has the equipment to implement composite (nano) materials and to perform mechanical and thermal characterization. The research team responsible for the technical platform also has particular expertise in the field of bio-renewable fillers and polymers (microfibrils and cellulose whiskers, thermoplastic starch, proteins, etc.).

Chromatography
The CERMAV Common Chromatography Service (SC3), consisting of a set of liquid chromatography and gas phase chromatography equipment.
The Service is located within the university area of Grenoble-Saint Martin d'Hères. SC3). It is under the joint supervision of a scientific manager, Claire Boisset (IR2-CNRS) and a technical manager, Laurine Buon (AI-CNRS) assisted by a technician, Philippe Colin-Morel. All of them are specialists in the analysis of all types of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. They have expertise in gas chromatography as well as in high and low-pressure liquid chromatography. They work in harmony with the nearby ICMG nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (SM) platforms.
Mass spectrometry
All equipment is part of the joint nanobio chemistry platform of the Institute of Molecular Chemistry of Grenoble (PCN-ICMG)
