Polymers offer new opportunities in a wide range of applications including wastewater treatment, biomedical engineering, and energy storage. In most of these applications, a strong coupling between the mechanical behavior and the chemical environment exists.

The objective of this MSR is to characterize the hydro-chemo-mechanical coupling in a polymer. The first step will be to elaborate the material in the form of a testing sample. Two techniques will be compared, 3D printing and molding. The next step will be to characterize the material experimentally in order to establish the elaboration-structure-properties relationship. The tests will be conducted in a decoupled manner (effect of the chemical and the thermal environments) or a coupled manner in mechanical tension testing machines (monotonic and cyclic) under different chemical and thermal environments.
