The members of the theme regularly put their expertise at the service of the academic and industrial communities through various actions :

• Review of scientific articles
• Expertise of Cifre grant applications to the ANRT
• Expertise of ANR projects
• Expertise of scientific projects for ADEME

In addition, thanks to the testing and characterisation resources available in the laboratory, the theme assists its industrial partners in assessing problematic situations. This approach allows for better control of the functionality of interfaces or their life span as well as better knowledge of the behaviour of the materials used.
