Dr. Jules Bellon is a researcher and scientific project manager at UniLaSalle, UR ECLORE (ULR 7519), Normandy University, France. His research focuses on biodegradable polymers, bioplastics, compostability, polymer biodegradation, biocomposites, microplastics, biomass valorization, agro-industrial co-product treatment, and carbon balance during biodegradation processes. His PhD work investigated the home and decentralized compostability of biodegradable plastics under mesophilic conditions, with a focus on PLA, PBS, PBAT and lignocellulosic biocomposites. His work combines respirometry, polymer characterization, analytical chemistry, biomass processing and environmental assessment. He has published research on biodegradable polyesters and biocomposites, authored a book chapter on biodegradation mechanisms, and teaches courses related to polymer science, statistics, biochemistry and chemical kinetics. He also serves as a peer reviewer for international journals, including Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering and International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, and as Guest Editor for a Special Issue in Polymers.
