Laboratoire d'Innovation en Chimie des Surfaces et Nanosciences (LICSEN)

  
 

The LICSEN (Laboratory of Innovation in Surface Chemistry and Nanosciences) combines chemists and physicists (14 CEA staff members, 2 university associates, ~14 Ph.D students and postdoctoral fellows) around a core expertise in the field of chemical functionalization of surfaces and nanomaterials.

The main objective is to provide these surfaces and nanomaterials with additional properties of interest in the fields of sustainability, renewable energies and nanosciences for information and health technologies. Our studies expand from the understanding of chemical and physical mechanisms at the fundamental level up to the development of patented processes. The laboratory notably has strong interactions with industrial partners.

Surface Chemistry for Biology & Health at LICSEN :     MEDICAL IMPLANTS : Recanalization of coiled aneurysms remains unresolved. To limit aneurysm recanalization after embolization with coils, we propose an innovative approach to optimize aneurysm healing using fucoidan-coated coils. Within a multidisciplinary consortium, LICSEN is leading the coil surface-chemistry part.
Surface Functionalization & Chemistry of Nanomaterials : LICSEN was founded in 2014 by merging the former LCSI (Laboratoire de Chimie des Surfaces et Interfaces) and LEM (Laboratoir d'Electronique Moléculaire), both having shared expertise in surface functionalization and nanomaterial chemistry. The ability to add new functionalities to surfaces and nanomaterials through the development of chemical functionalization processes remains at the core of many of our activities.
