About us
Welcome to the web site of the CP2M
Laboratory of Catalysis, Polymerization, Processes and Materials. We are located at the CPE-Lyon engineering school on the campus of the DOUA in Villeurbanne, and are supported by the CNRS, CPE-Lyon, and the Université Claude Bernard-Lyon 1 (our tutelles), all part of the Université de Lyon. Created from the merger of the UMR Chemistry Catalysis Polymers and Processes (C2P2 – UMR 5265) and Laboratory of Catalytic Process Engineering (LGPC –UMR 5285), the CP2M saw the light of day on 01 January 2021. The new research unit has been created to combine the strengths of the 2 original UMR in terms of the development and implementation of advanced organometallic complexes and materials for different applications (of which homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis), advanced polymerization chemistries and processes, reaction engineering, reactor design and process automation, and new approaches to the study of chemistry.
The main areas of research
Research at the CP2M integrates expertise from the molecule to the process, and from product formulation to end-use properties.
The main areas of research include.
-
Multiscale Catalytic Systems
-
Polymers and Polymerization
-
Reactivity in Catalysis
-
Complex Colloids
-
Chemical Reaction Engineering
-
Materials and Molecular engineering
-
Process Intensification
-
Recycling , Biomass Valorization in the context of Circular Economy
Our UMR is structured around two research teams:
-
POLYMERIZATION, CATALYSIS AND MATERIALS (PCM)
-
MOLECULES, ADVANCED MATERIALS, PROCESS ENGINEERING, CATALYSIS AND COORDINATION (M2AGIC2 in French)
