Nanomatériaux pour les Systèmes Sous Sollicitations Extrêmes (NS3E)

ST LOUIS CEDEX

NS3E is a major international laboratory in the field of formulation and synthesis of (nano)materials for energy, pharmaceuticals and energy transition. It covers the elaboration and synthesis by SFE and SFS processes, characterization and nanostructuring of materials. In particular, it studies the influence of particle size reduction on their properties and performance. It targets applications in the fields of defense, space, civil security, energy transition and health.

Colleague of Denis Spitzer, winner of the 2022 CNRS Innovation Medal. Research professor at the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (northeastern France), Denis Spitzer has developed two processes that facilitate the study, formulation, and production of particles smaller than a micron – an unprecedented feat. These techniques have made it possible, for the first time, to continuously produce industrial quantities of compounds for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agri-food…

Aujourd'hui, 90 % des médicaments, dont près de 40 % des anticancéreux, se dissolvent de manière non-satisfaisante, ce qui gêne leur absorption et impose des doses élevées. Face à ce défi, Denis Spitzer a inventé au laboratoire Nanomatériaux pour les systèmes sous sollicitations extrêmes (CNRS/Institut franco-allemand de recherches Saint Louis/Université de Strasbourg) deux procédés qui facilitent l'étude, la formulation et la production de particules d'une taille en-dessous du micron qu'aucun…

An explosive in the form of nanopowder, observed using an atomic force microscope. With a view to obtaining the finest possible diamond nanoparticles, research scientists have developed a nanocrystallisation process by turning a microstructured charge (5-100 µm) into a nanostructured charge (50-200 nm). They then detonated this nanostructured charge in order to synthesise nanodiamonds whose size (1-3 nm) is suitable for use in various fields, such as medicine, cryptography, optical protection,…
