Pitting behavior of a novel stainless steel for additive manufacturing

The last twenty years have seen whirlwind advancement in production of metallic parts via additive manufacturing (AM). This technology has surpassed its origins in manufacturing titanium parts; additive manufacturing is now applicable to a vast range of alloys, including stainless steels. The principal advantage of constructing parts layer by layer is to afford the capacity […]

Optimizing a Fungal Leather Process

MycoFutures focuses on producing renewable, low-carbon materials from natural sources such as fungal mycelia. Traditional and synthetic leather (e.g. PVC) are in high demand but also have negative environmental impacts, including effects on global warming and eutrophication. MycoFutures has determined the production process for fungal-based leather material and now seek to improve their process by […]

Fabrication par sérigraphie d’une membrane revêtue de catalyseur pour les électrolyseurs à membrane échangeuse de protons pour la production d’hydrogène vert

Afin de contribuer à la transition énergétique qui abandonne progressivement l’utilisation des énergies fossiles et ainsi répondre aux objectifs fixés par le Canada en matière de changement climatique, ce projet vise à fabriquer une membrane imprimée avec des catalyseurs capable de produire de l’hydrogène à partir de l’eau à faible coût. Pour y parvenir, divers […]

Quantification de l’erreur d’échantillonnage

Actuellement, le suivi des intrants chez Elkem Métal est une problématique. Dans ce projet, on vise à améliorer la caractérisation du quartz. On retrouve parmi les contaminants de ce minéral le titane et l’aluminium. Ces deux éléments peuvent être nuisibles pour la réalisation de certains produits qui demandent des restrictions très étroites. Selon la composition […]

Stratégie d’internationalisation et outils de communications des PME technologiques: recherche-action dans une startup medtech.

L’internationalisation des nouvelles entreprises technologiques et plus particulièrement constitue un enjeu crucial pour leur viabilité sur le long-terme. En effet, la demande limitée voire inexistante sur leur principal marché, les poussent à cibler des clients à l’international. Or, l’obsolescence de leur technologie ainsi que la forte compétitivité à l’international augmentent le risque d’échec de jeunes […]

Cancer treatment using drug-loaded thermosensitive liposomes with non-invasive ultrasound thermal therapy and temperature monitoring and control in an in vivo animal model

Chemotherapy is the most commonly used method for treating different cancer types that involves the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs, leading to the death of cancer cells. However, the non-uniform distribution of chemotherapeutic drugs within the tumor and systemic toxicity has multiple side effects, and the delivery problem remains unsolved. Drug delivery carriers such as liposomes […]

Direct and Selective Electroless Metallization of low-cost 3D Printed Composite Filaments Loaded with Metals to Enhance Surface Properties

The selective and direct metallization (electroless plating) of low-cost FFF 3D printed objects will be investigated in this research project. After 3D printing, the workpiece will be directly subjected to the electroless plating process (skipping the etching and catalyzation steps). We show that conventional low-cost conductive composite filaments loaded with metals can be used for […]
