Développement d’un biocomposite d’isolation

Les mousses polyuréthane sont largement utilisées dans l’isolation thermique à cause de leur faible conductivité thermique, mais leur origine fossile soulève des préoccupations concernant leur impact environnemental. Ce projet propose de développer une mousse polyuréthane plus durable en intégrant du biochar dans sa formulation. Le biochar est un matériau biosourcé issu de la pyrolyse de […]

Adaptive tension control system for defect mitigation during natural fiber composite forming

This project develops an automated control system to reduce manufacturing defects in sustainable composite materials made from natural fibers like flax and hemp. These eco-friendly materials could replace plastics in cars and airplanes, but current production creates wrinkles that weaken products and increase waste. The visiting researcher from France will design a system that applies […]
