Holger Frauenrath
(born in Aachen, Germany) studied chemistry at
RWTH Aachen
, Germany from 1992 to 1997, with a focus on synthetic organic chemistry. He performed his PhD thesis from 1998 to 2001 in the research group of Prof Hartwig Höcker at RWTH Aachen, working on a project related to the stereospecific polymerization of methacrylates as well as their copolymerization with olefins using zirconocene catalysts.Holger Frauenrath then joined the group of Prof. Sam Stupp at
Northwestern University
, Evanston, IL, USA, as a postdoctoral fellow supported by a
Feodor Lynen fellowship
of the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
. His postdoctoral research projects were centered around the supramolecular self-assembly of rod-coil molecules.Holger Frauenrath returned to Germany in 2003 and started to build his own research group at FU Berlin, funded with an
Emmy Noether Grant
from the
German Science Foundation
. In 2005, the research group moved to the Department of Materials at
ETH Zurich
, Switzerland, where it became a scientifcally independent part of the
Polymer Chemistry Group
led by
Prof. A. Dieter Schlüter
. Holger Frauenrath obtained his Habilitation from ETH Zurich in 2009.In 2009, Holger Frauenrath has been appointed as a professor at the
Institute of Materials (IMX)
of the
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)
, Switzerland, building the new
Laboratory of Macromolecular and Organic Materials (LMOM)
. In the same year, Holger Frauenrath was received the prestigious
European Research Council (ERC) Starting Investigator
grant.

On 1999 she moved for 20 months to the University of Geneva, for a post-doctoral stay under the supervision of Prof. Alexandre Alexakis, where she focused on the determination of the absolute configuration of chiral alcohols using Organophosphorous Diamine Derivatizing Agents by 31P and 1H NMR Spectroscopy. On 2000 she joined the group of Prof Jean-Claude G. Bünzli and was appointed part-time lecturer in 2001, assuming teaching and research responsibilities. On 2006, she obtained the habilitation to direct research from the University René Descartes (HDR, Paris V, France) and since october 2007 she is Maître d'Enseignement et de Recherche at the EPFL. In 2010, she joigned the Laboratory for Photonics and Interfaces (LPI), headed by Pr. Michaël Graëtzel. Since the end of 2014, with the arrival of Dr Marinella Mazzanti at EPFL, she is back to lanthanide chemistry, dealing with coordination polymers.Her research interests concern supramolecular chemistry with the design of ligands which form water soluble complexes with luminescent lanthanides in view of biological applications. She is also interested in the synthesis of ligands and polymers for the extraction of lanthanide ions with high selectivity, and in the development of invisibke inks. She also developed organic dyes for dyes sensitized solar cells DSSC. She is now focusing on coordination polymers with luminescent properties and catalytic activity.Anne-Sophie Chauvin is involved in the teaching of General and Analytical Chemistry for students enrolled on first year in Pharmacy and Biology (UNIL): ex-cathedra courses (Chimie Générale et analytique I et II, approfondissement en chimie analytique pour pharmaciens) and exercices.She is in charge of practical sessions for students enroled in chemistry, forensic sciences, pharmacy and biology.She is elected at the FSB Faculty Council and was member of the EPFL Assembly (AE) for 6 years, until 2018.She was member of the Management committee of the Cost CM 1006 action entitled Eufen: European F-Element Network.She is Member of the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).

vignette|Les matières plastiques font désormais partie de notre quotidien. Structure typique d'une formule : matière plastique = polymère(s) brut(s) (résine(s) de base) + charges + plastifiants + additifs. Les élastomères sont souvent classés hors des matières plastiques proprement dites. Une matière plastique (le plastique en langage courant) est un polymère généralement mélangé à des additifs, colorants, charges (miscibles ou non dans la matrice polymère).
thumb|Déchets plastiques au jardin botanique de Bogor en Indonésie (2018). La pollution par le plastique (ou « pollution plastique ») est une pollution engendrée par l'accumulation de déchets en matière plastique dans l'environnement. Il existe plusieurs formes et types de pollution plastique. Le système mondial de production, d'utilisation et d'élimination des matières plastique est un système défaillant. La pollution plastique est corrélée au faible coût du plastique, qui entraîne une utilisation massive et jetable de ce dernier.
vignette|Déchets banals industriels triés : sacs plastiques en attente d'être transportés pour retraitement. La valorisation des déchets en matière plastique est l’ensemble des opérations dont le but consiste à donner à ces déchets une nouvelle valeur d’usage. La valorisation énergétique consiste à transformer un déchet en énergie thermique et ceci grâce à son potentiel calorifique. Cette énergie est utilisée pour la production de chaleur et/ou d'électricité.
L'industrie des plastiques conçoit, fabrique (plasturgie) et commercialise des matériaux polymères utilisés pour de nombreux usages ( emballage, construction, électronique, industrie aérospatiale, transport, agriculture, sylviculture, jouets, gadgets, sans oublier les microplastiques dans certains dentifrices et cosmétiques). Une grande partie de la partie amont (production) de ce secteur est classée dans l'industrie chimique et dépend encore des hydrocarbures fossiles (naphta, gaz naturel), ce qui la fait aussi classer en grande partie au sein l'industrie pétrochimique.
Marine plastic pollution (or plastic pollution in the ocean) is a type of marine pollution by plastics, ranging in size from large original material such as bottles and bags, down to microplastics formed from the fragmentation of plastic material. Marine debris is mainly discarded human rubbish which floats on, or is suspended in the ocean. Eighty percent of marine debris is plastic. Microplastics and nanoplastics result from the breakdown or photodegradation of plastic waste in surface waters, rivers or oceans.
Examine les défis et les méthodes de recyclage des plastiques, y compris les procédés mécaniques et chimiques, la récupération d'énergie et l'impact sur les propriétés des matériaux.
Couvre les principes fondamentaux de la chimie organique, en se concentrant sur le rôle du carbone dans la science des polymères et la recherche sur la matière molle.
