Daniel R. Neuville, IPGP-CNRS Senior Research Director, studies the thermodynamic and rheological properties of glasses, crystalsand melts bylinking their structure at high temperature to the macroscopicproperties, applications ranging from Earth to materials sciences. Laurent Cormier, CNRS Senior Research Director, studies the structural properties of oxide glasses and liquids to betterunderstandnudeation and, in particular, the mle of nucleating agents in the formation of the glass-ceramics.
Daniel Carrant Researcher scientist at the CNRS, focuses on the relationship between composition, structure and properties of oxicieglassesandstudies thesolubilization and dispersion of certain specific elementsin glass matrices. Lionel Montagne, Professorat the University of Lille 1, investigates glasses and glass-ceramics bâsed on phosphates or silicates using solid-state NMR. He develops glasses for non-conventional applications such as self healing seals or alternative matrices for nudear wastes.
