Transparent nanocellulose composite aerogels for improved energy-efficient window insulation

This project focuses on creating innovative transparent aerogels to make windows more energy-efficient. Windows are one of the biggest sources of energy loss in buildings, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Current solutions like multi-pane glass and special coatings are expensive, heavy, and can reduce clarity. To solve these problems, we are developing a new type of aerogel made from nanocellulose (a material from plants) and polysiloxane (a durable, insulating compound). These aerogels are lightweight, strong, and excellent at keeping heat in or out while remaining clear and easy to see through. They are made using a simple, low-cost process that can be scaled up for larger production. The aerogels can be used in multi-pane windows or added to single-pane windows to improve their insulation without requiring major changes to existing buildings. This project will help partner organizations reduce energy use in homes and buildings, lower utility bills, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. It also supports British Columbia’s goals for cleaner, more energy-efficient technologies and offers new opportunities for businesses to bring sustainable products to market.

Développement d’une méthode de caractérisation rapide des bitumes basée sur les caractéristiques chimiques

Le projet vise à développer une méthode de caractérisation rapide pour déterminer les propriétés rhéologiques anticipées des bitumes à partir de leurs caractéristiques chimiques. Actuellement, les essais rhéologiques utilisés dans l’industrie nécessitent des délais importants avant d’obtenir les résultats, ce qui ralentit la production. En revanche, les essais de caractérisation chimique offrent des résultats plus rapides et peuvent même être intégrés directement au processus de fabrication en usine. Les bitumes utilisés au Québec sont majoritairement modifiés avec des polymères et autres additifs, ce qui modifie progressivement leurs propriétés rhéologiques à travers le processus de polymérisation. Présentement, les bitumes sont classés selon leurs propriétés rhéologiques, lesquelles déterminent les zones climatiques où ils peuvent être utilisés pour la fabrication d’enrobé bitumineux.

Surveillance en temps réel des infrastructures avec capteurs quantiques et IoT pour un transport durable

Ce projet combine les capteurs quantiques et l’Internet des objets (IoT) pour améliorer la surveillance des infrastructures de transport, telles que les ponts et les routes. Face au vieillissement des infrastructures et aux défis climatiques, les capteurs quantiques offrent une précision exceptionnelle pour détecter des phénomènes invisibles comme la corrosion et les variations de température. Intégrés dans un réseau IoT, ces capteurs permettent de collecter des données en temps réel et d’analyser l’état des structures, facilitant ainsi une détection précoce des défaillances potentielles et une gestion proactive de la maintenance. Le projet repose sur des recherches antérieures ayant démontré la supériorité des capteurs quantiques par rapport aux technologies classiques. Grâce à ces capteurs, il sera possible de prolonger la durée de vie des infrastructures, de réduire les coûts de maintenance et d’améliorer la sécurité publique en évitant des défaillances catastrophiques. Ce système innovant pourrait positionner le Canada en tant que leader mondial dans l’utilisation des technologies de pointe pour la gestion des infrastructures critiques, tout en ouvrant des perspectives de collaborations internationales. L’impact global de ce projet contribuera à une gestion plus durable et efficace des réseaux de transport.

Improving Haptic Comfort of Fabrics

Biomimicking involves drawing inspiration from nature to design materials and structures that replicate their unique properties, including optical, chemical, physical, and thermal characteristics. With this study, the objective is to determine the characteristics of fabrics that can give the same tactile properties, i.e., when touching with the hand, as natural materials, for example rose petals. More specifically, we will investigate the similarities and differences in hand feel or haptic properties between various fabrics and natural materials. This information will guide the development of fabrics that replicate the hand feel of natural materials. We will test a variety of samples, including natural materials (such as rose petals, feathers, and wood) along with diverse fabrics. The research will involve quantifying physical properties and evaluating perceptual similarities using standard textile testing devices, a thermo-haptic testing instrument, and human trials. By mimicking these haptic properties, the research aims to benefit the textile industry, leading to new fabrics that enhance comfort and user satisfaction. The findings will also contribute to material science and haptic technology by providing insights into the relationship between material characteristics and sensory perception.
