Styrenic Polymers Debromination and Recycling

The current feedstock of en-life high impact polystyrene (HIPS) is currently impossible to be valorized and recyled due the presence of brominated fire retardants (FRs). The presence of those FRs is consequence of the need from the electronic industry to compile with the security regulations. However, now those brominated compounds are to be banned due […]

Caractérisation de pastilles supraconductrices dans un champ magnétique rotatif

Le projet de recherche entrepris dans ce stage vise à établir une méthodologie pour caractériser des pastilles supraconductrices en fonction de l’angle d’un champ magnétique appliqué. Avec l’aide du magnétomètre géant du groupe de Philippe Vanderbemden, l’aimantation d’une pastille supraconductrice plongée dans un champ peut être déterminée pour obtenir sa densité de courant critique, une […]

Atmospheric water generation with nanostructured material

Atmospheric water harvesting allows arid regions with low rainfall or unsustainable/expensive groundwater resources to collect fresh water from the air to meet their needs. Typical water harvesting methods rely on a simple principle: humid air is forced through a mesh net, where water condenses and droplets drain away through gravity. However, these traditional approaches face […]
