Développement d’un système de microplaque chauffante à induction

Dans le domaine de la spectroscopie infrarouge, nous utilisons des sources infrarouges à large bande afin d’illuminer les échantillons observés. La méthode traditionnelle est d’utiliser des éléments chauffants avec une bonne émissivité à haute température, environ 1,000 °C. Actuellement, les défis majeurs pour la conception de source de lumière infrarouge sont i) la grande consommation […]

Design of porous hydrogels for biomedical applications

Biocompatible hydrogels have been used for a long time in biomedical applications (e.g. microcarriers for adherent cell growth; drug delivery vehicles). For these applications, controlled pore size and pore interconnectivity are important parameters. The project aims at better characterizing several physicochemical strategies for pore generation. Then, as second objective, the influence of pore size upon […]

Catalytic Design for the Conversion of Fructose to 2,5 – Furandicarboxylic Acid

Carbohydrates are promising bio-feedstocks to synthesize functionalized compounds. The US Department of Energy identified seven compounds with a high oxygen to carbon ratio as alternatives to sugar fermentation to ethanol. Transition metals oxidehydrate fructose to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a monomer for green plastic (polyethylenfuranoate). The aim of this project is to develop a micro-fluidized bed […]

Using Fiber Reinforced Polymers Reinforcement in Precast Segmental Tunnel Linings

With the development of tunnel construction techniques, precast segmental tunnel linings (PCTLs) have begun to play a crucial role in preserving ground surfaces and solving traffic problems in metropolitan areas. In parallel with growing interest in PCTLs, engineers are in the search of solutions that improve precast production efficiency and obtain higher structural performance. The […]

Full-scale testing of a liquid cooling system for electric vehicle inverters

It is critical that on-board power electronic components of electric vehicle inverters operate within optimal temperature ranges. Failure to accomplish this results in overheating, oversizing and degradation of electronic components. Moreover, reduced efficiency and motor drive performance will have significant economical impacts on global automakers. This research will further contribute to developing a new thermal […]

Biomimetic functional coating for flux control

We would like to develop slippery liquid infused surfaces for molding applications. Molding technology is of great importance in industry and understanding the wetting behavior of molding liquids (polymers/metals) is of fundamental interest and non-trivial as well because of the involved phase transition from liquid to gel/solid upon cooling. Thus, both wetting and post solidification […]
