Bernadette Charleux is a French polymer chemist. She is a member of the Academia Europaea[1] and a senior member of the Institut universitaire de France since 2009.[2] Since 2012, she is the Deputy Vice-president of Research and Development at Saint-Gobain.[1]
Bernadette Charleux first worked on emulsion polymerization, which led to the creation of new materials : functional latexes, amphiphilic copolymers, etc. before turning to pioneering research on Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization in aqueous media. More recently, she has worked on the creation of nano-objects via the self-assembly of macromolecules.[3]
This work has led to numerous patents.[4]
