THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Lightweight Composite Consoles for Aerospace Applications: Carbon fiber composites used in aerospace applications are subjected to harsh environments while in service. In particular, structural components are often exposed to oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids. Over time, these contaminants may affect the material properties of the composites and thus, the mechanical behavior of the components. This […]

This project aims to advance soft robotic research by developing innovative control mechanisms built from a gelatin-based biogel. Soft robots can deform to navigate through constrained spaces and perform complex tasks in unstructured environments, without the need for complex control. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications in dynamic environments, including medical […]

Exploring the structure and behavior of turbulent jets is a fundamental challenge in fluid mechanics. The application of turbulent jets in environmental and industrial contexts has led to a rise in both experimental and numerical research in this area. Nevertheless, the examination of counter-flowing jets released into a turbulent background has received less attention in […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative wound dressing that helps cool burn injuries, reduce pain, and speed up healing. The dressing will be made from natural, sustainable materials and will incorporate special components to control temperature, preventing further tissue damage and offering pain relief. Partnering with Miha Biotech, a company dedicated to creating eco-friendly […]

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic, often includes a variety of additives like plasticizers and stabilizers to meet specific performance needs. However, these complex blends complicate recycling, limiting the ability to produce high-quality recycled PVC (rPVC) that meets current regulatory and environmental standards, and having manufacturers incorporate it into production. To address this, Oligomaster […]

Oligomaster Inc. is developing a Sustainable Product Development Tool that leverages molecular simulation and machine learning to streamline the formulation process for plastic and chemical manufacturers. As industry moves towards sustainable alternatives and faces tighter regulations on certain chemicals, including harmful plasticizers, traditional trial-and-error methods of formulation are no longer efficient or economically viable. This […]

The purpose of this research is to develop improved diagnostic and treatment tools for prostate cancer in humans through the use of a canine (dog) model and a synchrotron-based x-ray source for imaging and therapy at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). Novel techniques in synchrotron x-ray imaging, specifically in-line phase contrast CT (PC-CT), will be […]

The project will develop a multifunctional and sustainable hybrid thermoplastic composite reinforced with asphaltene-based short carbon fibres (CF) and continuous natural fibres. The fibre-matrix interface of the hybrid material will be characterized through tensile and fracture toughness tests and its multifunctionality in terms of enhanced electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding will also be […]

Le projet de recherche vise à améliorer la navigation des robots d’assistance en utilisant la cartographie sémantique de nuages de points 3D. Les robots mobiles autonomes sont essentiels pour les premiers intervenants, car ils offrent des informations précieuses sur une scène de catastrophe sans mettre de vies humaines en danger. Actuellement, ces robots nécessitent une […]

The transition to sustainable energy has heightened the demand for advanced power conversion technologies, crucial for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in Canada, where the transportation sector is a major contributor. Canada aims to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2040, but current projections suggest only 48% of the target will be met, largely […]

The feasibility of blending hydrogen into its natural gas infrastructure to support global decarbonization efforts is currently being explored in Canada. With hydrogen emerging as a clean energy alternative, this project aims to integrate hydrogen into Energir’s gas infrastructure while addressing challenges related to material compatibility and safety. The study involves laboratory experiments to assess […]
