Bernadette Charleux is a French polymer chemist. She is a member of the Academia Europaea^[1] and a senior member of the Institut universitaire de France since 2009.^[2] Since 2012, she is the Deputy Vice-president of Research and Development at Saint-Gobain.^[1]

Scientific work

Bernadette Charleux first worked on emulsion polymerization, which led to the creation of new materials : functional latexes, amphiphilic copolymers, etc. before turning to pioneering research on Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization in aqueous media. More recently, she has worked on the creation of nano-objects via the self-assembly of macromolecules.^[3]

This work has led to numerous patents.^[4]

Prizes and distinctions

• Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (2013)^[5]
• CNRS Silver Medal (2012)^[6]
• The Prix Grammaticakis-Neuman of the French Academy of Sciences (2011)^[7]
• Société chimique de France Prize, Materials, polymers, and elastomers division (2000)^[8]
• CNRS Bronze Medal (1997)^[1]
