André Deratani received his PhD degree in Polymer Chemistry at the Paris Val de Marne University (Créteil, France) before joining Prof. J.M.J. Fréchet’s laboratory at the University of Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). Named CNRS Research Scientist in 1980, he spent one year (1992) as development project manager at Orsan Company (Lafarge group). In 1995, he joined the European Membrane Institute (IEM, UMR ENSCM / UM2 / CNRS 5635) in Montpellier (France) and became CNRS Senior Scientist (1999).
His main research activities are in the domains of polymer chemistry and physical chemistry for application in functional materials in the form of beads and films. His current topics include the preparation of nanostructured materials and engineered interfaces from the self-assembly of macromolecules with controlled architecture (block copolymers and polyelectrolyte multilayers) with applications in water and wastewater treatment and the fabrication of biosourced materials from modified biomacromolecules.
