The interest of our research is mainly focused on the preparation of (biocompatible/biodegradable) polymers presenting complex architectures. Specific initiators, living/controlled polymerization procedures, quantitative organic transformations and new monomers are prepared in our group and used for the construction of complex materials including cyclic, star-shaped, dendrimer-like star or hyperbranched architectures. For the sake of greening the chemistry, our approach relies on a biomimetic inspiration from Nature. By corollary, the activation of carbon dioxide to enable its use as a synthon or a participating polymerization molecule is arousing our interest.
