Rheolution Inc. develops and commercializes a new scientific instrument dedicated to the mechanical characterization of materials for research and development and quality control of industrial polymers. The instrument, called RheoSpectrisTM, uses an innovative technology patented by the University of Montreal Hospital. Compared to the competing old generation instruments, this unique technology allows the measurement of […]

For our research project, we propose to explore how the geometry of the porous cage molecule, the metal-organic polyhedron (MOP), can affect its self-assembly into large gels, and how it can affect their resulting shapes and properties. We anticipate that the potential to use these porous molecules with differing geometries and pore sizes can offer […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement d’un instrument de spectroscopie par laser LIBS pour réaliser la numérisation des avoirs miniers par la génération de Big Data de grande sélectivité. Cette technologie permet de rendre universel l’opération de numérisation des avoirs miniers en combinant plusieurs capteurs pour réaliser simultanément la minéralogie automatisé et l’analyse chimique multi-élémentaire. […]

The problem of cancer chemotherapy is the severe toxic side effects on healthy tissues. The use of liposomes as a chemotherapeutic drug carrier can accumulate at the tumour site, but the timely release of the drug has remained as a problem. Liposome systems that respond to hyperthermal temperature is one of the approaches for triggered […]

The objective of this internship is to create new chemical compounds that can be used to further our research and understanding of a human enzyme known as GBA2 – implicated in several debilitating diseases and signalling pathways in the body. These compounds would not only serve as tools to probe GBA2 for additional information but […]

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay containing montmorillonite, a smectic clay mineral that has a high cation exchange capacity and swells upon contact with water. The swelling capacity of bentonite limits movement of water which makes it an attractive candidate to be used as an engineered barrier system to protect used nuclear fuel containers that […]

Rapidia has developed a water-based approach to metal 3D printing that is faster, simpler, and more cost effective than the current systems on the market. This novel approach enables printed parts to be sintered directly, eliminating the time- and chemically- intensive intermediate de-binding step required for other processes. In order to implement this technique, the […]

The interns will improve the scientific understanding of the biological effects of thermal and radiological emissions that may have impacts on aquatic environments. Thermal emissions fi-om the generating station may have impacts on developing fish embryos in local populations. Research will include development offield monitoring as well as laboratory experiments. Additionally, low-levels of historic and […]

The goal of this project is to develop advanced mathematical algorithms integrated with the probe design technique to improve the SNR of an NMR measurement. The proposed methods are summarized as: 1) Apply Compressed sensing (CS) technique associated with the optimized recovery method to the current obtained NMR signals. 2) Time-averaging technique can also be […]

The recent legalization of marijuana has sparked renewed interest in studying the health benefits of the non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBO, 1, Figure 1) has emerged as a promising medicinal candidate due to its potential for the treatment of anxiety, and chronic pain. In 2018, the first CBD-containing drug, Epidio1ex, was approved by the FDA for […]

Solder paste is a material that is approximately 90 % metal alloy powder by weight and 10 % flux medium, a material consisting of organic compounds whose principal function is to remove oxide from the powder surface, is used in the assembly of electronic devices. This material is printed onto circuit boards, after which components […]
