CP2M (Catalysis, Polymerisation, Processes and Materials)

Laboratory of Catalysis, Polymerization, Processes and Materials. We are located at the CPE-Lyon engineering school on the campus of the DOUA in Villeurbanne, and are supported by the CNRS, CPE-Lyon, and the Universite Claude Bernard-Lyon 1 (our tutelles), all part of the Universite de Lyon. Created from the merger of the UMR Chemistry Catalysis Polymers and Processes (C2P2 UMR 5265) and Laboratory of Catalytic Process Engineering (LGPC UMR 5285), the CP2M saw the light of day on 01 January 2021 and is actually directed by Tim McKenna. The new research unit has been created to combine the strengths of the 2 original UMR in terms of the development and implementation of advanced organometallic complexes and materials for different applications (of which homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis), advanced polymerization chemistries and processes, reaction and chemical engineering, reactor design and process automation, and new approaches to the study of chemistry. Research at the CP2M...
