Création du premier incubateur hardtech au Québec

Peu de startups, tant au Québec qu’à l’international, réussissent le pari risqué de développer une entreprise pérenne en IOT, en matériel (hardware) ou en biens de consommation. Les obstacles sont nombreux: chaîne de financement non adaptée aux réalités de la production locale, une dépendance à la chaîne d’approvisionnement étrangère, qui a prouvé sa limite depuis […]

Atmospheric plasma surface modifications of organic polymers for applications in organic photovoltaic cells

Thin-film solar cells have great potential to replace conventional silicon-based cells, mainly because of their flexibility and low-cost materials. Nowadays, organic solar cells seem the brightest alternative, thanks to their non-toxic composition. Nonetheless, there still need to be solved challenges in their commercialization process. One of them, the loss of surfaces and interfaces of active […]

Plasma-activated renewable nanomaterials for the design of sustainable and barrier multilayers

This project aims to investigate the use of non-thermal plasma to (i) strengthen the adhesion and promote the compatibility between lignocellulosic layers and (ii) functionalize the individual layer(s) or the multilayers with advanced barrier performance. The overall goal is to propose competitive, fully biodegradable and/or recyclable alternatives to current petroleum-based multilayer packaging. Non-thermal plasma is […]

Toward a better treatment to optimize biomechanical function in individuals with a foot amputation

This project aims to compare the biomechanics of the lower limbs in individuals with different types of foot amputation (i.e., transmetatarsal, metatarsophalangeal and toe) during locomotion (e.g., walking, stair ambulation). To achieve these objectives, individuals with and without a foot amputation will undertake a biomechanical evaluation (joint movements/forces and muscle activity) during the aforementioned tasks.
