معرفی
Serge Bourbigot is a Professor at the Centrale Lille Institute, affiliated with the Materials and Transformations Unit (UMET, CNRS UMR 8207) at the University of Lille and the National School of Chemistry of Lille. He leads research in Polymer Systems Engineering, specializing in fire safety of materials, intumescent coatings, flame-retardant formulations, and pyrolysis modeling.
Research Interests: His work spans fire retardancy mechanisms, thermal degradation of polymers, development of bio-based flame retardants, computational fire modeling, and advanced characterization techniques (e.g., solid-state NMR, cone calorimetry). Key applications include aerospace, construction, and sustainable materials.
Recent Publications: Bourbigot's 15 latest articles (2023–2024) focus on intumescent geopolymers, fire-safe biocomposites, pyrolysis kinetics, and microgravity combustion. Dominant themes include sustainable flame retardancy, polymer degradation analysis, and multi-scale fire modeling.
Student Advising: He has supervised over 30 PhD students, with recent projects covering fire-resistant 3D-printed polymers, inorganic coatings, and flame-retardant bioplastics. Notable collaborations include co-direction with Gaëlle Fontaine and Maude Jimenez.
Patents & Innovations: Holder of multiple patents for fire-protection technologies, including geopolymer heat barriers (2023), intumescent silicone coatings (2013), and flame-retardant polyurethane formulations (2011).
