L’azote est l’un des nutriments les plus utilisés en agriculture. Cependant, sa production industrielle, sous forme d’ammoniac, est très énergivore et requiert l’utilisation de ressources fossiles. De plus, l’ammonium, la forme acide de l’ammoniac, est un des polluants les plus problématiques dans les eaux usées. Paradoxalement, lors du traitement de ces eaux, l’ammonium est transformé […]

La fiabilité des installations électriques du Canada contribue directement à la vitalité économique et à la qualité de vie des citoyens. Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en […]

Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en panne et entraîner des coupures d’électricité. La durée de vie de ces équipements étant liée à celle de leur isolation solide, […]

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 will be synthesized in the lab, and then characterized by XRD, SEM or TEM technique. The obtained mesoporous silicas will then be functionalized with four types of amino groups: monomeric unhindered (3-aminopropyl) and hindered (pyrrolidinepropyl), polymerized aminopropyl group and polyethyleneimine (PEl) based on the graft method reported in the literature. This type […]

The excellent mechanical properties and its lightness make graphene a revolutionary material as efficient audio transducers for speakers and headphones. Several studies have reported the superior performance of graphene diaphragm in electrostatic and thermoacoustic transducers [1-2]. However, these graphene diaphragms are produced from expensive methods with low scalability and are not suitable for application in […]

ORA has developed a unique audio solution based on the use of graphene oxide (GO), an oxidized graphene produced by a scalable chemical method. GO shows a good balance of stiffness, density and damping when assembled into micrometers thick layered structure and has been shown to perform significantly better than commercial diaphragms by ORA. The […]

The partner organisation, Sigma Energy Storage, develops energy storage by gas compression. This technology is based on the storage of electricity from intermittent energy sources, such as wind or solar power, and the recovery of unused electricity from diesel-based power sources located in remote communities not connected to the electrical power grid system. During the […]

AV Nackawic is part of a new and innovative group of companies (AV Group), which are focused on producing specialty pulp products to service the textile and paper industry. The blow heat recovery system, more popularly known as “The Black Hole,” is one popular area where the pulp and paper industry has utilized the energy […]

The intern will support the Canadian Bobsleigh Team in its efforts to reduce ice friction between a bobsleigh and the race track. Therefore, a numerical heat transfer model will be developed, and novel procedures to attain the smoothest possible runner surfaces will be researched. Furthermore, we will apply concepts underlying lubrication theory to runner surfaces […]

The UbiLab and the CSA Group are collaborating on the development of a roadmap for a data integration infrastructure that will enable Ambient Assisted Living technology to share data at a wider scale. The current technology landscape has resulted in manufacturers of Internet of Things and Ambient Assisted Living technologies generating siloed data that provide […]

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell is a division of Mercedes-Benz Canada and is responsible for Daimler’s global production of fuel cell stacks. Fuel cell stacks are currently seen as a prominent alternative to internal combustion engine in road cars. In the current design the fuel cell stack is assembled using a few hundred individual fuel cell plates. […]
