Materials characterization is the necessary step linking together the different research axes of the lab, going from the synthesis of constituents and composites to high-temperature testing and the modeling of to materials structure and behavior.

To do so, the lab enjoys the presence of a large set of facilities, satisfying most of the intrenal needs in terms of physico-chemical, structural and morphological characterization. The lab also makes proficient use of the neighboring platform Placamat and of large instruments like ESRF, Soleil, SLS and ILL. The LCTS team regularly occurs to develop original techniques or sets of techniques to answer specific needs on characterization and classification of materials and constituents.
