In this context, our research group combines experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches to understand the transformations of divided materials from the scale of the constituents to the process with three main objectives:
• Characterize and describe the particles in terms of shape, surface, volume properties, adhesion, toughness ... Integrate the evolutions of these properties during the process. Evaluate their interactions in the presence of fluids (liquid or gas) or electrostatic field.
• Determine the macroscopic properties and predict the emergence of structuring regimes as a function of local interactions, particle geometry and external constraints.
• Study the processes and develop new unit operations based on the phenomena evidenced at the particle scale and on the corresponding operating regimes.
