The proposed project aims at developing a new type of lubricant to be used for twin-roll casting with the advantage of providing a better flexibility for the choice of aluminum alloys currently used in twin-roll casting. The biggest advantage is to reduce the energy demand as the liquid aluminum alloy can be directly processed at […]

Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves over time. It is estimated that around 10% of Canadians have diabetes, which is 1 of the 10 leading causes of death globally. While diabetes is highly prevalent, […]

Our abdomen can contract in order to help us breath. Restricting our abdomen has previously shown to reduce the function of our lungs at rest, and change the way we breath during exercise. Women’s athletic apparel has trended towards high-waisted, lower body garments. A high-waisted band, although not as severe as abdominal strapping, can apply […]

Women use sports bras to reduce the breast movement and discomfort during exercise. In order to provide support, sports bras have a tight fit, adding pressure to rib cage. Pressure applied to the rib cage via a sports bra, can provide resistance during inspiration, and increasing the effort and work required to breath. The purpose […]

Neuractas Therapeutics is a Canadian pharmaceutical company that is developing novel agents for neurological indications. Neuractas has developed neur-04 for epilepsy, this agent is a reformulation of an existing drug that has demonstrated strong clinical anticonvulsant activity in the most difficult-to-treat cases of epilepsy. Often people with epilepsy have to try several different medications before […]

The project will be to strategize and develop business development market access activities that will result in future commercialization opportunities to overcome barriers to market entry for our nanotechnology solutions.

Tasks involving lifting, pushing, and carrying (e.g., lifting laundry, cleaning the floor) are often challenging, especially for seniors and people with limited mobility. On stairs, performing these tasks becomes dangerous, potentially leading to serious injury (falls, back strain, etc.). Quantum Robotic Systems Inc. (QRS) addresses this problem by making unique mobile service robots. QRS has […]

To reduce carbon footprints, the development of new materials with enhanced properties is of great importance. The construction industry, with a record of 9.95 Gt of CO2 production in 2019, is the 3rd largest sector contributing to climate change31. One way of reducing the amount of carbon in their manufacturing process is by adding materials […]

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

This project will support a Master’s UNB student to investigate the impact of including pyrolysis products (bio-oil and biochar) in asphalt mixtures by designing asphalt mixes that meet the requirements set for pavement applications. The use of carbon-rich bio-oil and biochar; could positively impact the properties and rate of oxidation of asphalt materials. Also, the […]

The Farmers’ Truck is a social enterprise offering products and services that empower organizations to address the lack of fresh food access in their communities. The Farmers’ Truck is developing a program which will be addressing these three challenges that NGOs face in our innovative program. The intern will map out the process of adoption […]
