In the context of urban micro-plastic wastes management in sewer networks and combined storms overflows, this PhD project studies plastic micro-particles dynamics in flows typical of urban hydrosystems. In this study, model particles will be manufactured with varying properties (shape, size, density…) and placed in open channel flows in order to study their dynamic (transport, entrapment…) in different flow configurations.

First, the thesis will focus on the High Temperature (HT) study of these binary systems. In particular, the Liq-Liq miscibility gaps, which have been little studied experimentally until now.
Then, a study under High Pressure (HP) will be carried out in collaboration with the ILM through the use of the experimental park proposed by the PLECE.
Finally, the acquired experimental data will be used for a thermodynamic modelling (CALPHAD) with pressure and temperature variables.

Thermochemical energy storage is a promising technique for storing intermittent thermal energy (of solar origin for example). It is based on the hydration and dehydration of hygroscopic salts. However, during the cycles of use, the efficiency of the storage devices decreases, in particular because of an uncontrolled agglomeration of the salts.
This thesis project aims to propose porous ceramic matrices, able to trap very large quantities of salts while avoiding their aggolmeration, and therefore to increase the efficiency and lifespan of thermochemical energy storage systems.

Example of works
The objective of the thesis is to develop new eco-responsible processes adapted to industrial production for the fabrication of microfluidic systems allowing the study of spheroids. The first phase of the project involves the use of biopolymers, such as chitosan, functionalized or not, in association with other biopolymers or natural molecules, to form microstructured and sealed structures. The second phase of the project consists of providing permanent magnetisation properties to these structures by incorporating magnetic nanoparticles organised under a magnetic field. Finally, the last phase of the project will be the realisation of a microfluidic system comprising a magnetic channel allowing the selective separation of cells, and a perfused micro-culture chamber allowing the study of spheroids in a controlled environment.

Highlights
Support de thèse de Camille ZOUDE/2020-2024
Camille Zoude, a doctoral student in Mateis' Ceramics and Composites group between 2020 and 2024, wins the best thesis prize awarded at the GFC (Groupe Français de la Céramique) 2025 annual conference in Orléans.
Camille will represent France at the “student speech contest” of the European Ceramics Society Conference (ECERS XIX, Dresden, 08/31 - 09/04/2025).
His thesis, entitled “Thermochemical energy storage in hygroscopic ceramic-salt architectural composites”, was carried out in collaboration between Mateis and Cethil laboratories (supervisors: Elodie Prud'Homme, Kevyn Johannes, Laurent Gremillard). It was funded by an Enjeu Energie doctoral contract from INSA Lyon. This work was supported by the LABEX iMUST (Support de thèse 2020).
