Stratégie d'établissement

Modern society, particularly the industrial sector, relies heavily on structural materials that must perform in aggressive, sometimes extreme, environments. Their durability is a strategic concern and a major scientific challenge. Equipment and infrastructure degradation poses risks to longevity and safety. The interaction between structural materials and their environments significantly affects their performance and lifespan. Complex degradation phenomena—such as the corrosion of metallic structures and the degradation of polymers, ceramics, or composites—raise significant scientific and technical questions. The diversity of real-world operating conditions, including coupled physico-chemical parameters and mechanical stress, adds complexity, leading to material damage and loss of functional properties. Research in this field will aim to design more resistant materials based on fundamental studies and to develop maintenance strategies to reduce overall impact (greater durability, lower carbon footprint), addressing urgent societal challenges around resource efficiency, energy cost reduction, and environmental impact.

This goal aligns with the CNRS COMP 2024-2028 roadmap and fits within its major strategic domains. It also supports themes promoted by APED—a newly established organization mandated by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESRI) to propose a national research program on the durability and reliability of materials used in decarbonized energy systems—which seeks expertise in materials chemistry.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The four target laboratories (alphabetically: CIRIMAT, ICB, IJL, ICMPE) have well-established teams in the field of inorganic materials chemistry. Strengthening their contribution to this project will consolidate their limited current resources on the topic and enhance France's international visibility in this field.

Stratégie Internationale

The French materials science community is highly active and has world-class expertise in the development of industrial materials. However, it slightly lags behind international teams in areas such as durability and end-of-life of materials. Incorporating the impacts of corrosion, degradation, and material durability into future material synthesis and circularity strategies must be strengthened.
This project aims to foster networking and unite a national community at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and engineering. Building up strength and expertise in this field also requires appropriate training at universities and the recruitment of talented, experienced scientists.

Résumé du projet scientifique

Designing new durable materials that resist degradation in harsh environments while reducing environmental impact is a major scientific barrier in inorganic materials chemistry. A multiscale understanding and control of fundamental degradation mechanisms under extreme or complex coupled conditions is the first challenge. Developing sustainable, circular materials using renewable raw materials, virtuous processes, and efficient recycling strategies to reduce societal and environmental impact is critical in the context of a safe and high-performing decarbonized economy. The project seeks to optimize material performance under coupled, often multi-physical and multi-criteria, stresses while improving end-of-life processes and reducing reliance on critical resources.

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project's socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
