MULTIFERROFLEX
DESIGN OF NEW FLEXIBLE POLYMER BASED FILMS EXHIBITING MAGNETOELECTRIC PROPERTIES THROUGH THE TAILORING OF THE HYBRID INTERFACE
I got a position of assistant-professor at ITODYS, Université Paris Diderot in September 2006. After little research on nanocomposites made from carbon nanotubes, I am now involved in the synthesis of magnetic hybrids for biomedical and recording applications. I am currently coordinating a one-year bilateral franco-italian research project on new materials for water-splitting (PHC Galileo, 2013). I also earned little money through a project funded by LABEX SEAM to buy a special equipment to perform tensile tests inside the XRD available at ITODYS. I defended my accreditation to supervise research in september 2014 and became associate-professor.
I authored 22 accepted papers, 7 proceedings and I presented 25 oral communications (13 as speaker) and 25 posters in international and national conferences.
Generally speaking, my research activities are focused on the synthesis of nanostructured inorganic and hybrid materials and the influence of interfaces on their properties.
ABOUT People
I am Fayna Mammeri and I am the Coordinator of the project ANR Jeune Chercheuse Multiferroflex.
I acquired skills and expertise in the field of hybrid organic-inorganic materials during my PhD in Physics and Chemistry in Materials (2003, Université Pierre et Marie Curie). I studied the relationships between sol-gel synthesis and mechanical properties of PMMA-silica hybrid coatings. Then, I worked as a post-doc researcher on appropriate functionalization of POSS to react them with organic monomers for dewetting properties (Marie Curie grant in a Research Training Network, 2004-2005, 18 months, Università di Trento, Italy). During a one-year contract at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials of Strasbourg (IPCMS), I worked on the functionalization of magnetite nanoparticles by stilbene derived functional molecules to prepare organized arrays by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.
