14 novembre 2018 - A new French-Swiss project between FARE and EMPA

The bilateral project INTOS2 coordinated by FARE is funded by the ANR and the Fonds National Suisse.

The 4-year INTOS2 project, with a budget of 800 k€, starts a new collaboration between FARE and EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research) that aims to understand the hygroscopic behavior of wood and wood-based polymeric systems through numerical modeling and advanced characterizations. This project will allow to unravel the effects of water on the main wood polymers and on their interactions in lignocellulosic cell walls or artificial systems inspired by wood. This study will support designing lignocellulosic material
