French Adsorption Association - AFA

The Association Française de l’Adsorption (AFA) is a learned society under the French law of 1901, whose aim is to promote the advancement of experimental, numerical and theoretical methods in the fields of adsorption from liquid or gaseous phases, on solid surfaces or in porous materials.

The AFA brings together the French-speaking community working on these subjects, with no restrictions on the type or state of the molecules adsorbed or confined (gases, liquids, ions, biomolecules, etc.) or the type of “host” materials (synthetic organic, inorganic or hybrid materials, natural porous media, etc.), and also taking into account dynamic and transport aspects.

By facilitating scientific and technical exchanges between its members, the AFA aims to encourage the coordination of research between the various fundamental and applied research laboratories of public and private bodies, both in France and abroad.

AFA is a member of the French Federation of Materials.
