In order to meet current requirements in terms of reliability, performance, safety and sustainable development, research in the field of materials is now concentrated (both regionally, nationally and internationally) around four major axes:- access to new materials sources,- new materials development techniques,- evaluation of their performance and their application potential, in order to contribute to the improvement of knowledge in these fields of research and to respond to societal challenges, the laboratories SMS, AMME-LECAP, PBS (MPBM team) and GPM (ERMECA team) of the materials network (GRR LEM Normandie) decided to pool their skills and present the joint project SCAMPI: Solutions for the Design and Analysis of Materials at Innovative Properties.The SCAMPI project aims to prepare the materials of the future by anticipating the needs in terms of mastering the different stages of the life of the material clans from molecular materials to macromolecular materials. Indeed, the stakes around these themes are numerous in the key areas of regional economic development (pharmaceutical industries, biobased polymers and biodegradable for packaging) and in the context of technological rupture (additive manufacturing).The processes studied will allow access to crystal phases with specific properties in the case of molecular materials and to new biopolymers (replacement polymers) and new bi-polymer components (additive manufacturing) in the case of macromolecular materials.In the case of molecular materials such as crystallised organic materials, the nature of the solid phase strongly conditioned many biochemical properties (bio-disabilities, etc.). Securing the material and access to targeted properties (e.g. for the latest generation pharmaceutical compounds) necessarily implies the development of new strategies to achieve specific crystalline phases that meet higher purity requirements (enantiomer, structural or chemical). Two innovative crystallisation processes will be studied more specifically during the SCAMPI operation: continuous uprooting and crystallisation in porous medium.o continuous deracemisation: For many years, the pharmaceutical and biological sectors have highlighted the need to develop enantiomerically pure compounds. The so-called “deracemisation” method is one of the most recent and innovative processes of chiral resolution.1o crystallisation in porous medium: Porous crystallisation is a phenomenon studied for several years by scientists and the most recent studies have shown that the physical properties of the crystallised phases under these conditions (metals, ice, organic solids,...) are affected by the size constraints imposed by containment in pores. Controlling these crystal phases is a challenge for many industrial sectors such as, among others, agri-food, armament, or the pharmaceutical industry.Concerning macromolecular materials, the various economic sectors focus on the search for new generations of reliable materials for the replacement of metro-source materials, The development of green chemistry allows the development of bio-based polymers of 2nd generation extremely promising for various industrial sectors (packaging, automotive, etc.). Two innovative processes for the development of replacement polymer materials will be studied during the SCAMPI operation:
