Research in the PRE group covers both of the principal areas of activity of the LCPP : free radical polymerisation in aqueous medium (emulsion, minie mulsion and suspension polymerisation) ; and olefin polymerisation on supported catalysts.

Current research fields include all aspects of polymerisation catalysis: • Ziegler-Natta, metallocenes, late transition metals and lanthanide polymerization catalysis • conception of new catalysts, adaptation to polymerisation processes, activation, mechanisms of catalytic polymerisation • application of polymerization catalysis to olefins and dienes polymers and copolymers • new developments in polymerisation catalysis: (co)polymerisation of polar olefins, catalytic polymerisation in water dispersion • catalysis in polycondensation (polyesters, polyamides) • catalysis using solid lewis acids including cationic isobutene polymerisation • radical and controlled radical polymerization • improvement of polymerization processes.
