Anisotropic polymer thermoelectric materials – Anisotherm
ANISOTHERM project focuses on the fabrication of new polymer thermoelectric materials and to explore how their processing in thin films by crystallization, orientation and soft doping can improve their thermoelectric (TE) properties. This pluridisciplinary project involved four laboratories ( Strasb
Component for Guided Optics in the Midinfrared – COMI
The Mid-InfraRed (MIR) domain is concerned by most of the frequencies of molecular vibration and the optical spectroscopy in this range allows the identification and the quantification of chemical compounds corresponding to explosives, pollutants or disease markers. Also, the technological appropria
Electro-deposited Calcium-phosphate coatings for biomedical applications – DECaP
Every year, more than 200 000 orthopaedic prostheses (knee, hip) and a huge (but unknown) number of dental implants are implanted in France. For an optimal efficiency, these implants have to be well integrated in bone. To favour osseointegration, dental implants rely on modification of their surfac
Minimization of water consumption in agro-food industries by developing a combined approch integrating Water Footprint and Pinch methods – MINIMEAU
In a context of increasing pressure on water resources in France, sustainable access to quality water has become a vital issue for most food industries (FFIs), which consume it for a wide variety of purposes: from ingredient water to cleaning water, not forgetting water used in heat transfers. Most
Simulation of thermal Interface Resistances: ENAble first principle molecular dynamics via heat transients – SIRENA
In a device, the heat path from the active part to the heat sink involves generally several layers of different materials. At each interface, a thermal resistance has to be accounted for in addition to the resistance of layer itself. Understanding and quantifying interface thermal resistances is th
Building Of Ocean Surface Topography maps from SWOT – BOOST-SWOT
A large number of oceanographic applications rely on gridded maps of Sea Surface Height (SSH) and related variables such as surface currents. Such products have been for about 20 years designed by the DUACS (Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System) project, led by the Collecte Localisation
MOdelling of Porous Electrodes for an Optimized MAterial Design – MOMA
This project is dedicated to a bottom-up approach to optimize the design of porous electrode materials devoted to biofuel cells and biosensors. These devices operate on the basis of complex enzymatic electrochemical redox reactions coupled to mass transfer of substrates (glucose and O2) and electron
Electric plug adapters for proteins: Activating iron-sulfur enzymes to fully exploit Nature's catalytic potential for biotechnology – IRONPLUGNPLAY
Microbes are routinely engineered to synthesise chemicals from renewable materials. Improvements in microbial engineering are accelerating the global transition to a sustainable bio-based economy, as more chemicals are made in a manner similar to beer brewing, rather than being refined from oil. At
Ultrasound welding of papers and nanocelluloses – ULTRACELL
The main ambition of the ULTRACELL project is to provide proof of the feasibility of a new industrial adhesive-free assembling process or bio-based heat-sealable layers. The process developed should have performance comparable to assemblies obtained by adhesive or heat sealable layer used today, in
Colloidal Assembly In Free Energy Gradients – COATING
Whether we use it to manufacture increasingly complex materials or because our bodies have developed solutions to resist it, drying is a ubiquitous process in our lives. Water has a preponderant role in our world and undergoes a crucial cycle based on phase transitions. Water evaporation occurs as s
