Fete de la science 2024

Poly was present at the 2024 Science Festival in Orléans on October 5 and 6 and in Bourges on October 12 and 13. The children built Poly, the MATEX mascot. But who is Poly?

Poly is a strange little character, straight out of a research file on multimaterials in extreme conditions. Multimaterials are assemblies of materials (metal, rubber, glass, etc.) which have very different properties. They will each bring their “super powers” ​​and even acquire new ones together which will allow them to imagine new uses or improve what is currently being done.

Poly's model had to be customized, "dressed up" to give it properties whose only limit is their imagination. They proudly took up the challenge and the creations were each more original than the last.

You can admire some of these works, no less than 55 Poly! And there is so much missing!
