معرفی
Fabienne SAMYN is an Associate Professor at the National School of Chemistry of Lille, part of the University of Lille. She works within the Unité Matériaux et Transformations (CNRS UMR 8207) and is a member of the Procédés de Recyclage et de Fonctionnalisation (PReF) research team. Her office is located at the Centrale Lille Institute in Building C7A, ground floor, office 004.
Dr. SAMYN's research focuses on three main areas in fire science: development of flame-retardant solutions for materials (including polymer formulations and protective coatings), development of characterization methodologies to understand fire behavior during decomposition and combustion, and design of fire tests representing real fire scenarios. Her teaching spans analytical chemistry, physical and macromolecular chemistry, safety, green plastics and bio-composites.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on innovative flame-retardant systems for polymers and composites, with increasing integration of advanced manufacturing techniques like 3D printing and novel characterization methods. Her work bridges fundamental materials science with practical fire safety engineering applications across multiple substrates.
Dr. SAMYN actively supervises multiple PhD students both as primary supervisor and co-supervisor, with current research focusing on flame-retardant composites, fire testing methodologies, and sustainable fire protection systems. She collaborates extensively with researchers including Serge BOURBIGOT, Sophie DUQUESNE, and Maude JIMENEZ.
She utilizes the FireResist Platform, a specialized experimental facility within the Materials and Transformations Unit, which supports her research on fire behavior characterization and development of novel fire protection solutions. Her work has resulted in significant contributions to fire safety standards and industrial applications.
