IPCMS Department of organic materials

Since its creation in 1987, The IPCMS is a multifield research centre dedicated to the elaboration and study of new materials having specific optical and magnetic properties. It aggregates chemists and physicists who conjugate their skills for opening new fields of investigation, quite particularly in the field of the nanosciences. The experimental and theoretical works realized in the Institute cover to a large extent fundamental research and aim at the understanding of the chemical and physical mechanisms on the base of observed macroscopic properties. The development of nanomaterials and nanosciences is for the laboratory a strong issue. It takes advantage of very good collaborations with local partners, as evidenced by the sharing of equipments and skills within the consortium "Nanosciences & nanotechnologies". Together with other laboratories in Strasbourg and Nancy, the institute has been recognized by the French research ministry as a landmark nanotechnology centre in the eastern part of France. This position is strengthened by the closeness of Rhenan centres of excellence in the field of nanosciences (Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Basel)
