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
DIAMOND VERTICAL POWER MOSFET – MOVeToDiam
The ambition of the MOVeToDiam program is to achieve a major technological breakthrough by implementing crucial technological steps in the emerging «Diamond Semiconductor« sector. The targeted devices are based on MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) structures: a vertical p-channel U-MOSFET (metal-oxide
Investigations of three-dimensional thermoelectric nanomaterials – 3D-ThermoNano
Thermoelectricity has seen a renewed emphasis in the last decade due to significant advances in materials nano-fabrication processes with improved performances. This growing interest is reinforced by the fact that the solid-state thermoelectric (TE) devices can convert waste heat from sources such a
Marrying coastal safety objectives with natural development of sand dunes – SONO
Sandy coasts are complex and poorly understood environments that are under unprecedented threat posed by anthropogenic pressures and climate change. Most beaches worldwide are backed by coastal dunes, with the composite beach-dune system both buffering the hinterlands from severe storm waves and pro
Development of an ultra-thin monitor for charged particle beams – PEPITES
Proton therapy is a cancer-fighting technique using proton beams, which allows better preservation of healthy tissue than conventional radiotherapy while remaining effective in destroying tumours. However, during the treatment, the correct delivery of the dose requires continuous and precise measure
