Theme 1: Forming of fibrous reinforcements (woven, non-woven, tows…) based on synthetic and natural fibers for structural and semi-structural composite applications. Identification and prediction of forming defects. Mechanical characterization of fibrous and composite structures by destructive and non-destructive methods.

Theme 2: Revalorization of recycled carbon fibers for use in composites. Use of carded and non-carded fibers in the re-architecturing of recycled carbon fibers.
