Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been utilized as a space lubricant due to its suitability for vacuum environments. While MoS2 lubricants were adequate for early spacecraft, the increasing duration of missions has heightened the demands on these lubricants, necessitating ultrahigh wear lives extending from months to decades. To overcome these limitations, MoS2 has been co-deposited with […]

Le projet de recherche vise à étudier l’impact des phyllosilicates, notamment la muscovite, sur la résistance mécanique des remblais miniers en pâte cimentée (RPC). Il s’attaque à un problème récurrent : la perte de résistance des RPCs due à une augmentation de la teneur en phyllosilicates. L’étude se concentre sur l’influence de différentes proportions de […]

We propose developing a new type of solid electrolyte for zinc-air batteries using advanced electrospinning techniques. Traditional electrolytes are challenging to miniaturize and control, limiting the size and efficiency of wearable electronics. Our approach uses a combination of polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, and potassium hydroxide to create electrolytes with precise thickness control, enhancing the performance […]

The proposed research project aims to develop next-generation materials for sustainable hydrogen production through water electrolysis. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier in the transition to a clean, carbon-neutral future, and this project focuses on improving the efficiency and durability of anion exchange membranes (AEMs), which are critical components of water electrolyzers. The research will […]

The expanding economy, coupled with increased human activities and the rising demand for petroleum hydrocarbons, has led to a surge in high-risk pollutants like Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX). These carcinogenic chemicals are notorious for their potential to escape from storage tanks, pipelines, and oil tankers, infiltrating the ocean’s subsurface. Once in the environment, […]

Le projet est d’implanter une norme ISO 9001 dans une PME Québecoise, pour cela le stagiaire devra étudier l’ensemble des processus de l’entreprise, effectuer des audits internes, mener des actions correctives, former le personnel aux nouvelles procédures etc… La qualité en entreprise repose sur l’amélioration continue, le projet ne repose pas uniquement sur des audits, […]

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

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced during various treatment processes. During biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment, processes such as activated sludge can generate N2O (a potent greenhouse gas) during total nitrogen removal processes. Further energy consumption […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à explorer et à développer de nouvelles méthodes pour accompagner les startups spécialisées dans les technologies matérielles, appelées “hardtech”, telles que l’Internet des objets (IoT) ou les technologies énergétiques. Contrairement aux startups axées sur le développement de logiciels, les entreprises hardtech font face à des défis uniques, notamment en matière […]

Ocean industries, such as shipbuilding and offshore energy, face challenges in selecting materials that can endure corrosive environments, high pressures, and mechanical stresses. While materials like composites and aluminum offer promise, their adoption is slowed by their inherently complex and nonlinear mechanical behavior, which is sensitive to environmental conditions, as well as by the time-consuming, […]

This project is focused on the design and optimization of a helmet, the Regulated Multi-stage Air-pressurized Chambers Helmet (R-MACH), that incorporates a unique idea aimed at effectively mitigating rotational forces without compromising on weight or performance at high impact velocities. Our novel design leverages interconnected air-pressurized chambers and elastic materials, instead of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) […]
