Physical disability in Canadian adults is largely due to painful mobility impairments, with the most common cause being diseases of, and injuries to, the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues (MSK disorders). MSK disorders are generally associated with natural aging, but are also caused by occupational injuries as well as brain or spinal cord injury or […]

Au Canada, plus de 150 000 tonnes de déchets de cartes électroniques sont collectées annuellement (Circular Economy Leadership Canada, 2021). Néanmoins seulement 20 % de ces derniers sont adéquatement recyclés (World Economic Forum, 2019). Afin d’atteindre les objectifs du « plan québécois de valorisation des minéraux critiques et stratégiques » du gouvernement du Québec (Gouvernement […]

Photodetectors are one of the fundamental elements of optoelectronic circuits. Phototransistors produce current both by absorbing light and also taking advantage of the gate electrode to increase gain. Solution-processed electronics has many advantages, including low-cost and low-temperature fabrication. In thin-film transistors (TFTs), the channel can be made with carbon-based semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). […]

Greenfield Global has been developing a process that aims to convert renewable materials to produce sustainable jet fuel (SAF). In addition to SAF, it is possible to produce other fuels such as diesel. Greenfield Global has been awarded a federal government grant which aims at developing a novel process for the production of renewable diesel […]

Effective wastewater treatment is essential to the health of the environment. When operating wastewater treatment plants, utilities must ensure that the treated water meets environmental regulations, while balancing competing needs to minimize the cost of running the plant against the maximizing resource recovery. Additionally, most wastewater treatment plants include a combination of physical, chemical, and […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de tester et valider un code de mesures de déformation par corrélation d’images numériques (digital image corrélation en anglais, DIC en abrégé). Cette technique permet d’évaluer les déformations en surface que subit une pièce sollicitée mécaniquement, de façon à prédire son comportement en service. Le principe de la corrélation d’images […]

NeoSpina Health Care Inc intends to contribute to unprecedented treatment techniques for LBP by developing a novel medical device and investigating acquired data from treatment procedures. Accordingly, the main objective of this project is to develop a non-invasive robotic device to treat a wide array of spinal conditions while reducing the treatment duration compared to […]

La compagnie Estampage JPL Ltée et le Laboratoire des Technologies de la Biomasse (LTB), visent à améliorer le processus de transformation de l’aluminium. Le projet se consacrera à développer des technologies d’inspection visuelles intelligents (capteurs, senseurs, caméras, compteurs intelligents, etc.) pour être capable de diagnostiquer les problématiques de qualité de la matière première et de […]

The Royal Canadian Mint is a world-class producer of circulation and non-circulation coins for Canada and other countries and aggressively conducting and supporting research and development to meet customer requirements and social/environmental wellbeing. One of future strategies at The Royal Canadian Mint is to produce antibacterial Canadian circulation coins, reducing the potential spread of bacterial […]

Avec ses 113 espaces d’une superficie combinée de 51 208 mètres carrés, le Palais des congrès de Montréal est l’un des centres de congrès et d’exposition les plus réputés en Amérique du Nord. Depuis 1983, le site a accueilli plus de 7 700 événements et 19 millions de visiteurs. Le projet de recherche proposé vise […]

Currently halogen-based flame retardant is widely used as cable covering material in various industries including oil and gas, transit and industrial utilities. Studies have concluded that these materials will produce toxic gases and acidic fumes, and also persistent against degradation in landfill. These negative consequences resulted in a progressive regulatory restriction on use of halogen-based […]

Global society trend in sustainable technologies and environmentally friendly solutions demand the energy-intensive rare earth elements (REEs) separation methods to be more sustainable and possibly adhere to the green chemistry principles. This project tackles molecular recognition technology (MRT) as a method to selectively separate REEs. MRTs is still in its infancy and literature lacks data. […]
