Laser-printing of 2D/3D Copper structures for plastic electronics – COPPRINT
The objective of the COPPRINT project is to design, realize and validate with an industrial partner a digital laser printing system for interconnexion in microelectronics. Such applications are currently achieved by inkjet technology by printing metallic nanoparticles inks. Improving the performance
Laser-assisted fabrication of silicone-based patches for transdermal drug release – Labricon
Silicone-based transdermal drug delivery patches are currently used in a wide range of pharmaceutical applications from hormone therapy to central nervous system related pathologies. However, their manufacture has relatively high technology barrier, impacting their price and limiting their utilizati
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
Laboratory convection experiments with internal, non-contact, microwave generated heating, applied to Earth’s mantle dynamics – TERRA-MWH
The first objective of this project is to develop a novel, specific MW generator type, firmware controlled from an embedded system, and to use it for mixed convection experiments. In convection experiments, a certain number of parameters (viscosity, density) of the experimental fluids need to be mod
Lab-on-a-chip model of mucociliary clearance for the treatment of Inflammatory Lung Diseases – MucOnChip
The Global Burden of Disease Study reports around 4 million deaths each year worldwide for inflammatory lung diseases, the large proportion of which occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Inflammatory lung diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibro
K8/F508del-CFTR, a new target for corrector therapy in cystic fibrosis – CORCF
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomic life-limiting disease which affects more than 70000 patients around the world. It is caused by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene coding for the CFTR protein. The most frequent mutation is the deletion of the 508th amino
Ion Transport across a Liquid-Liquid Interface for metal extraction – ITALLIX
Recycling without polluting is one of the current challenges addressed to chemistry, requesting innovative systems for liquid-liquid extraction. Moreover, an optimal separation in a large-scale continuous process of flowing solutions, rather than static baths, needs to be examined when new chemical
IoT for Supervision and Control of Water Systems – IoT.H2O
Water transport and distribution systems must be carefully monitored and operated to avoid water losses, to safe energy and to protect the assets of the water utilities against damages. In major water transport and distribution systems this task is performed by centralized SCADA (Supervisory Control
Involvement of microRNAs in the response to SRI antidepressants – miR-Dep
Depression concerns more than 350 millions people over the world according to WHO data, placing this pathology as a major concern for public health. Depressive states are associated to a decrease in the brain of the level of serotonin, which regulates mood, anxiety and appetite. SRI Antidepressants
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
