About
Mathilde CASETTA is a Lecturer at the University of Lille's Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry, affiliated with the Materials and Transformations Unit (CNRS UMR 8207). She co-leads the Recycling and Functionalization Processes (PReF) research team, focusing on polymer systems engineering and sustainable materials.
Her research explores:
- Advanced coatings (self-stratifying, flame-retardant, and eco-efficient systems)
- Polymer functionalization via plasma treatment and electrospinning
- Recycling technologies like catalytic pyrolysis for polymer waste
- Biomaterial applications including medical meshes and environmental remediation
Her publications (2015–2025) predominantly address self-stratifying coatings, flame retardancy, polymer recycling, and functional biomaterials. Recent work emphasizes aerospace-grade coatings, hydrophobic surfaces, and eco-efficient solutions, reflecting sustained innovation in multi-functional materials design.
She actively supervises PhD students, with current advisee Adrien LEBEAU developing self-stratifying coatings for composites. Past students have addressed flame-retardant paints, polymer recycling, and geotextile functionalization, with post-thesis careers in industrial R&D (Arkema, Tarkett, PolyOne).
Her laboratory utilizes atmospheric plasma, electrospinning, and coating formulation platforms within the PReF team's infrastructure.
