In this project, the intern will tackle the production challenges currently faced by the industrial partner. Specifically to overcome inconsistent open/close pressures of a low profile vent valves intended for active packaging of roasted coffee. Vent valves, made of multiple layers of polymeric materials, are capable of relieving the internal pressure of a coffee package […]

CarbOne Biodiversité has engaged with our research team to evaluate potential uses for lightly contaminanted soils to further develop the circular economy. The project will evaluate geotechnical properties of lightly contaminated soils to develop a list of proposed uses (e.g., foundations, fill materials, etc.). CarbOne Biodiversité aims to merge the needs of economic development with […]

Lignocellulosic biomass plays a vital role in the global shift away from the utilization of non-renewable petrochemical resources. the market demand for lignocellulose nanofibrils has increased dramatically as they are attractive as a bio-based material due to their high strength, low density, high aspect ratio, functional ability, and biodegradability. Therefore, the sharing of scientific knowledge […]

This project is a necessary step toward model development for machine condition assessment that is capable of both diagnosis and prognosis including root cause analysis. The analytical model, once validated and calibrated can serve as a baseline model or a template for the detection of machine health problems. Because of the details of a machine […]

Le projet vise à élaborer et proposer des solutions intégrées à la problématique de gestion des déchets pour un territoire dans le région de la ville de Xalapa (Mexique). Pour cela, le projet prévoit deux stages : (1) mise en valeur agricole des matières résiduelles organiques et en particulier des résidus du secteur du café […]

The cornea is a thin transparent tissue that protects the internal parts of the eye and refracts light onto the retina. Severe corneal damage can lead to irreversible scarring that prevents light from passing through the cornea, causing long-term vision loss. The best treatment for severe corneal damage is to transplant donor corneal tissue from […]

Modélisation des comportements des fluides environnementaux et du système respiratoire chez l’humain (avec ou sans contaminant; avec ou sans traitement) (ex, : O2))

This research project focuses on understanding climate change’s effects on air quality and human health. It acknowledges that exposure to chemical and physical stressors also increases as extreme environmental events (like heatwaves, floods, droughts, …) become more frequent. This could potentially lead to new adverse health impacts or amplify existing ones. The project’s primary objective […]

While eye drops are the most common treatment for anterior segment ocular disorders, they are inefficient due to fast clearance, often requiring frequent and high doses, reducing patient compliance, and increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. To improve the efficiency and efficacy of topically applied therapeutics, a drug-loaded polymeric micelle that interacts with the mucin […]

La compagnie Trevi Inc., le plus important fabricant de piscines hors terre au Québec, souhaite substituer une partie du polypropylène utilisé dans les composantes de piscines par de la fibre de bois dans une perspective de diminuer l’impact environnemental de ses produits, dont les composantes produites par injection. L’introduction des fibres de bois dans le […]

The traditional way of making manganese chemicals for batteries causes large environmental problems in North America and the European Union because it uses harsh chemicals and creates a lot of pollution. The current methods only work well with oxide manganese ore, leaving the most abundant carbonate manganese unused and wasted. Our research is about finding […]
