Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) is pleased to inform the public of
the doctoral thesis defense in "Chemistry"

The thesis defense will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., at UEMF
Location: Red Amphitheater

The thesis will be presented by Mr. Mohamed Amine BENZAOUIA
on the topic:
"Biologically Active Hybrid Materials"

Abstract:

The development of multifunctional and sustainable materials has become a priority in both academic research and industrial innovation, particularly in the fields of biomedicine, food safety, and fire protection. In this context, bio-based polymers and inorganic-organic hybrid systems represent attractive alternatives to conventional materials due to their renewable origin, adjustable structures, and lower environmental impact.

This thesis is organized around complementary research axes focused on the development of antibacterial surface coatings, the design of chitosan-based films reinforced with pyridyl-pyridinium linkages, the elaboration of mesoporous SBA-15-type organosilicas functionalized with cationic groups such as ammonium for antibacterial applications, and the exploration of sustainable flame-retardant systems derived from phosphorylated biomass.

This thesis will be presented before the members of the jury:
