NSA group is a part of the:
The NSA group is developing an_interdisciplinary research project in chemistry, biology & physics, using a supramolecular chemistry-biomimetic materials-membrane platform. The methodology consists in a_new global approach,ÂincludingÂmultidisciplinary knots of synergetic concepts in molecular conception, supramolecular transcription an d material chemistry which can be implemented simultaneously in order to converge to polyfunctional adaptive membranes. This natural follow-up project might provide new insights into the basic features that control the design of new materials and membranes with applications in chemical separations, sensors or as storage/delivery devices. Strong activities are developping around water and ion channels toward highly selective membranes for desalination or Dynamic constitutional frameworks for environmental and health applications.
