With the ALCERU award, the organisation committee of the 8th International Symposium "Materials made of Renewable Resources" honours the academic achievements of Dr. LeMoigne on the qualitative and quantitative description of the swelling of cellulose and cellulose derivatives in direct solvents, which he presented as part of his doctorate studies and PhD thesis.
Dr. LeMoigne studied at the Institute for Technology in Nantes from 1998 to 2000 and graduated in the field of "Material Science and Mechanical Engineering".
From 2000 to 2003 he successfully completed his Masters studies, specialising in polymers materials, at the National Institute for Applied Sciences (INSA) in Lyon. He passed his Research Masters degree in polymers and composite materials in 2004 with distinction.
The following year Dr. LeMoigne moved to the CEMEF at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris in Sophia-Antipolis, where from 2005 to 2006 he took up a doctorate in material science. He was able to complete his thesis with the title "Swelling and dissolution mechanisms of cellulose fibres" at the end of 2008 with the award "with honours and congratulations of the jury". The focuses of his scientific investigations were the explanation of swelling and dissolution mechanisms of cellulose as well as research into new activation methods to improve the dissolution behaviour of cellulose fibres.
Since 2009 Dr. Nicolas LeMoigne has been working at the renowned Institute Carnot M.I.N.E.S. at CEMEF and the University of Wageningen as a postdoctoral fellow and carrying out research in the field of natural fibres of reinforced materials. As a model, he is investigating the influence of fibres on the flow rating of natural fibre PP composite materials. An important content of his research is the modification of natural fibres in a dissolved state. Dr. Nicolas LeMoigne lectures in Bachelor courses and supports students in their material science Masters studies. He is also actively involved in national and European collaborative projects.
Dr. LeMoigne is an author and coauthor of more than 10 academic publications in renowned professional journals and presents lectures and posters on his field of work at numerous national and international symposiums and congresses. In 2007, he was honoured with the "Best Lecture" award for his presentation "Swelling and dissolution mechanisms of natural cellulose fibres" at the 3rd "Cellulose, Regenerated Cellulose and Cellulose Derivatives" workshop at the University of Karlstad, Sweden.
