Redouane Borsali is a CNRS research Professor at Grenoble Alpes University (CNRS-CERMAV). He is actually the Director of the PolyNat Carnot Institute (Grenoble), France and the co-director with of IRP-CNRS-UGA-NTU “green material institute” (Taipei), Taiwan.
He was elected a Member of the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) in 2022, awarded the SPSJ international award (Society Polymer Sciences, Japan) in 2021 and the Scientific Grand Prize France Taiwan–Awards Academy of Science (France) in 2018.
Before his actual position, he served as the Executive Director for International Relations Grenoble Alpes Univ, Director of CERMAV–CNRS (Grenoble) and Group Leader–(LCPO), Bordeaux University.
Borsali was a visiting Professor at Stanford University and visiting scientist at IBM, Almaden, CA, USA. R. He spent his Post-doc at Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany –He earned his Master and PhD in polymer sciences at Louis Pasteur University at Strasbourg, France. He has more 300 publications, 4 books and 5 patents.
Prof R. Borsali’s expertise is focused during the last decade on the Self-assemblies of Carbohydrate-based block copolymers (BCP) systems with controlled architectures, leading to:
To date, numerous studies have been focused on the self-assembly of petroleum-based BCPs for potential applications in multidisciplinary fields, such as nanoparticles for drug delivery, or nano-organized films for biosensors, or nanolithography, etc. Such materials are derived from fossil resources that are being rapidly depleted and have negative environmental impacts. In contrast, carbohydrates are abundant, renewable and constitute a sustainable source of materials. This is currently attracting much interest in various sectors and their industrial applications at the nanoscale level will have to expand quickly in response to the transition to a bio-based economy. The self-assembly of carbohydrate BCP systems[1-4] at the nanoscale level via the bottom-up approach, has allowed the conception of nanostructured thin films and nanoparticles (micelles, vesicles,…) whose external shell is made from carbohydrates. We will present recent results on the self-assemblies of carbohydrate-based block copolymer leading to nanoparticles presenting different shapes (spherical, cubic, …), highly nanostructured thin films for nanobioelectronic applications and more recently brush-like glycopolymers exhibiting photonic crystals behavior leading to colored materials.
