The Institute of Analytical Sciences and Physico-Chemistry for Environment and Materials (IPREM) is a Joint Research Unit CNRS / UPPA (UMR 5254).

IPREM members are interested in the development of fundamental knowledge in physico-chemistry, analytical chemistry and microbiology, in relation to applications concerning the structure of the living, the management of the environment and the functional properties of different classes of materials.

Their skills are based on analytical strategies, modeling, physico-chemical approaches, fine studies of structures and reactivity, development, characterization and implementation at different scales. They make it possible to display an original position in the field of applications in many industrial sectors both at national and international level.

Rôle dans le projet :

Use predictive modelling to better target the required polyfullerenes, and then synthesise them using a range of techniques based on ATRAP, SACAP and the more recently discovered IMP route. Target scaling up to 10 g syntheses in preparation for industrial exploitation of these novel additives which give OPV stability.
