Several issues have been identified concerning the recycling of plastics during the analysis of the state of the art. Firstly, the presence of contaminants and the disassembly of complex structures appear as major issue and limit the development of mechanical recycling of plastics. On the other hand, tertiary recycling or chemical recycling is in its infancy and fundamental knowledge in this field is still needed to allow its spreading at different scales.

With a worldwide production of nearly 380 million tons per year, polymer materials play a central role in our modern society. They are used in the manufacture of innumerable daily-life products, or as more sophisticated compounds in medicine, diagnostics, and fine chemistry. However, economical and new societal constraints require a more rational design and alternative synthesis, formulation and processing methods for polymer manufacturing to meet the need for greater sustainability, more virtuous end-of-life management, while maintaining optimal performances in application.

The HYperStock project aims at consolidating the French scientific leadership in the field of storage and distribution of hydrogen under high pressure. This is an essential element of the hydrogen value chain on which the research and innovation effort must focus, specifically with an aim at decarbonizing heavy transportation mobility, in order to build up the green and autonomous hydrogen economy of tomorrow.

The objective of the RHU ICELAND is to develop a new solution for annuloplasty of the mitral valve by transfemoral approach integrating an Intra Cardiac Ultrasound. Such a solution can be performed while the heart is beating, without cardiopulmonary bypass, thus providing a first-stage mitral valve repair solution for patients considered high risk who are not eligible for open surgery, and further for most patients requiring mitral valve repair. .

En aviron comme en cyclisme, le rapport entre l’homme et la machine est primordial. Jusqu’alors, les études menées pour maximiser la performance ont abordé l’être humain d’un côté et de la machine de l’autre, sans jamais qu’aucune mise en perspective des deux n’ait été envisagée. C’est précisément l’objectif de ce projet THCPA2024, que de faire coïncider ces deux domaines d’études.

Natation et Paranatation : Tous Unis pour Nos Élites

La natation est un sport avec un fort potentiel de médailles aux Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques. Gagner peut se jouer au 1/100s : chaque détail de la performance doit être évalué avec précision. C’est l’ambition que porte le projet NePTUNE dans le cadre du programme Sciences 2024, pour répondre au Plan d’Investissement d’Avenir (PIA) en vue des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024.

H2O'Lyon vise à construire une école de recherche sur les Sciences de l’Eau et des hydrosystèmes.
