The project focuses on creating and marketing a sustainable insulation foam made of pulp wood, replacing traditional materials like polyurethane and expanded polystyrene. This eco-friendly substitute aligns with the global demand for sustainable products, particularly in the building and insulation sectors.

Globally, neurological conditions are the second highest cause of death and the leading cause of disability, affecting 40% of the population to some extent, a number expected to double in the next two decades. The vast landscape of neurological disorders are combated with various approaches: pharmacological, therapeutic, and surgery; however, the WHO warns that with […]

This research project is a feasibility study designed to assess the viability of employing advanced technology for oilfield environmental site assessment and restoration. The conventional labor-intensive and manual process of evaluating oilfield sites for potential remediation or reclamation is performed in the field at high cost. Our primary objective is to investigate the feasibility of […]

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

The development of international standards and codes led to the creation of safe and properly designed fully cured masonry structures capable of withstanding lateral loads induced by wind or earthquakes. However, as the age of masonry plays an important role on its strength, it was reported that before it is fully-cured, masonry is vulnerable to […]

Lubricants can lose viscosity when exposed to high temperatures, leading to engine damage. Viscosity modifiers can be added to address this issue. When applying these additives to lubricating oils, it becomes vital to assess the rheological behavior. As the microstructure of these additives play a golden role in their functionality in lubricating oils, it’s fruitful […]

A membraneless electrolyzer, as the name suggests, eliminates the requirement of the membrane, and a microchannel flow-based separation of the gas products is attained to obtain pure hydrogen. Unlike PEMWE, membraneless electrolyzers have fewer components consisting of a microchannel encompassing a pair of electrodes, thereby showcasing high resiliency and increased operational lifetime. This translates to […]

Dans la perspective de préserver les ressources naturelles non renouvelables et de contribuer concrètement à un développement durable, l’entreprise Bauval travaille assidument à la valorisation de résidus industriels, les scories d’aciérie, comme source de granulat dans la production d’enrobés spéciaux ultra-performants. Quatre (4) enrobés à chaud spéciaux de hautes technologies incorporant des scories sont actuellement […]

The structural integrity of mine tunnels is critical to worker safety as failures (e.g. rock falls) can cause injury or death. This project aims to determine whether it is feasible to automatically evaluate the safety of side walls in potash mines using the sound produced when the wall is struck by a metal bar. Previous […]

The research project promotes urban sustainability and the impact of preserving natural assets on health and the economy. It focuses on climate change adaptation and climate hazard mitigation, including, extreme heat, air quality, flooding, and high wind events. The research proposes a framework to predict and mitigate the impact of climate hazards on public health […]

Within Canada’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a pivotal goal involves taking immediate action to combat climate change and its far-reaching effects. The specified target is a 40% to 45% reduction in the country’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. To transition away from fossil fuels and embrace […]

The Canadian tool, die and mold making industry had sales of $1.2 billion in 2002 that dropped by 40+% in the ensuing decade as manufacturing moved offshore in search for lower labor cost. Trade tensions, conflicts (Ukraine/Russia; Taiwan/China etc.), COVID pandemic and accompanying supply chain disruptions, increase in labour cost overseas, improved automation technology and […]
