New approach to aqueous biphasic catalysis through catalyst confinement in nanoscopic core-shell polymers – BIPHASNANOCAT
This project is included in the wider framework of green chemistry, meaning the search by chemists to provide society with safer chemical fabrication, using the minimum amount of ldangerous and toxic reagents, using as little energy as possible, producing the minimum possible waste… To achieve thes
OxyChalcogenides as new Thermoelectrics – OTher
About 65% of the energy used in industrial processes is lost as waste heat. Part of this waste heat could be converted into electrical power by using thermoelectric modules, which would reduce the needs for electrical power production. To do so, efficient thermoelectric materials are required, but t
Non destructive evaluation of the structures for damage prediction and optimisation of the follow-up – EvaDéOS
This project aims to provide a global methodology for the monitoring of reinforced concrete structures including the phases of evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis and decision-making. The project meets different partners specialized in all these phases around structure managers. The objective of the pr
Structure-function relationships of Ferric Uptake Regulators and their inhibitors: towards new peptido-siderophore antibacterial compounds – PepSiFUR
Iron homeostasis and virulence of pathogens are intimately linked. A key actor of this metabolism in bacteria is the Fur protein (Ferric uptake regulator), a global transcriptional regulator of the expression of the genes involved in iron homeostasis. Any perturbation of Fur activity will affect pro
Clathrates hydrates with H-bond defects for hydrogen storage – HyDfect
The natural existence of large quantities of hydrocarbon hydrates in deep oceans and permafrost is probably at the origin of numerous applications in the broad areas of energy and environmental sciences. At a fundamental level, the peculiar nanostructuration of clathrate hydrates confers on these ma
Design of new high voltage SuperJunction power switches – SUPER SWITCH
The objective of this project is to fabricate Deep Trench SuperJunction power devices (diodes and MOSFETs) in the 600-1200 Volts voltage range. Deep vertical etchings were obtained by ICP-DRIE at LAAS and by electrochemistry at GREMAN. PIII implantations were performed on top wafer at IBS: it remain
Understanding and optimization of local electrografting – COPEL
Organic coatings on surfaces are present everywhere in today’s life, from paints used in car industry to medical devices. Among the different coating techniques, electrografting which is based on the electro-induced polymerization of dissolved electro-active monomers on metallic or semiconducting su
Potential impacts of CO2 geological storage on groundwater quality – CIPRES
France is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, which in particular includes the transposition of the European Directive on the geological storage of CO2. Indeed, groundwater protection is not explicitly taken into account in the European Directive on CO2 storage. The main actions ment
ELECtrical NANO-imPRINT for the industrial fabrication of nanoparticle-based sensors – ELECNANOPRINT
test test test test Many countries including France have recently launched ambitious R&D programs in order to promote the emergence of nanotechnologies. This strong interest is caused by the exploration of the innovative properties of nano-objects that could lead to many potential applications. For
Laser printing of organic thin film transistors – ILTO
In the frame of the project e-PLAST (ANR Blanc 2006), CINaM (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille) and LP3 laboratories have succeeded to print for the first time an Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) by means of a laser process. This process called LIFT (Laser-Induced Forward Tran
