Internship offer – Master 2 or equivalent : Synthesis and evaluation of new bio-based intrinsic flame-retardant monomers and additives to enhance wood resistance to wildfires – UMET, Centrale Lille Institut (12/01/2025)

This internship provides the opportunity to work at the intersection of organic synthesis, polymer chemistry and fire chemistry and engineering. Upon completing this experience, the candidate will have developed independence in several key areas, including: conducting chemical reactions and product purification; performing radical polymerisation reactions; evaluating and identifying chemical structures through NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) techniques; conducting thermal characterisation through TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry); developing coating formulations and conducting fire tests.
