Eliane Espuche is full professor in the Polymer Materials Engineering laboratory at Lyon University. Her main interests lie in the design of (nano)structured polymer based-materials for controlled gas and vapor transport properties, the targeted applications for such materials being barrier materials, selective membranes or active membranes. Her research interests include the study and modeling of diffusion/solubility mechanisms in polymers, blends and (nano)composites and the establishment of structure/morphology/properties relationships.
