18 October 2017 - Raphaël Coste in Florida to map the properties of plant fibers

Raphaël has continued his PhD thesis work since August 2017 in the team of Dr. Laurène Tetard at the Center for Technology in Nanoscience (University of Central Florida).

This 18-month stay is part of a collaboration involving FARE and LRN labs in Reims and the Center for Technology in Nanoscience in Orlando (USA). Raphaël, who was welcomed by Dr Laurène Tétard, a renowned scientist in the field of nanosciences, is continuing the work begun in Reims on the nanometric mapping of the spectroscopic and physicochemical properties of plant fibers by means of atomic force microscopies. This work should make it possible to reinforce collaborations between our laboratories and should contribute to a better understanding of the properties of plant fibers for composite materials.
