C&EN: TODAY'S HEADLINES - NANOSTRUCTURED POLYMER BLENDS (284 words) |
 | In the first issue of the new journal Nature Materials, the group reports a method for designing stable nanostructured blends of polyethylene and polyamide with a unique combination of properties impossible to achieve with classical blends of the two polymers [ |
| He carried out the work with ESPCI Ph.D. student Hélène Pernot and scientists Martin Baumert and François Court at Atofina's RandD center in Serquigny. |
| The French team members used their reactive blending strategy to chemically graft polyamide chains at high temperature onto longer polyethylene chains that contain reactive groups randomly distributed along their length. |

| In 1991, he received the Nobel Prize in physics. |
| He was then director of the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris (ESPCI), a post he held from 1976 until his retirement in 2002. |
| ESPCI and its employees eventually became the targets of a police investigation and the resulting legal ruling in the AlBaho Case set important precedents for e-mail privacy and student rights. |
