Contactless inspection of tubular inner surfaces – InSITUbes
Tubular structures are used in most industrial sectors. Present in numerous industrial processes for the transport of reagents, their injection or cooling devices, they are found especially in the agro-food, energy, pharmaceutical, chemical, aerospace, transportation or biomedical. For many year
NanOswimmers for Medicine And Diagnosis – NOMAD
The aim of this proposal is to propose the most efficient and controlled microswimmers with radio controlled therapy function like drug delivery. The swimming performance and colloidal cargo transport function of microswimmers will be evaluated inside smart microfluidic control platform. A final exp
Multi-scale modeling of ion transport in nanofiltration – MUTINA
Although nanofiltration (NF) has attracted increasing attention over the recent years, its current industrial applications are still limited compared to the great potentialities of this separation process. The major reason is that the physical phenomena involved in the separation process by nanoporo
Multi-functional memory elements using supramolecular self constructing interconnects – MultiSelf
The field of organic electronics is of growing importance, in particular for portable electronics, as well as low power and cheap electronics applications. Improving the conductivity of materials, as well as the interface between organic components and metallic interconnects are major problems, key
Development of stainless steel microbial cathodes for microbial fuel cells – BioCathInox
The “Laboratoire de Génie Chimique” has made a decisive answer to the problem of the cathode. This innovation on the cathodic process could be the solution to saving MFC technology. However locks persist and scientific knowledge on fundamental processes are not yet understood. The final objective is
Modelling charge transport in solid dielectrics under electrical stresses and implication on materials reliability in electrical engineering – ModElec
The main objectives of this project are as follow: - The development of a transport model including physical mechanisms like polarization, recombination and diffusion; - The understanding of the conditions where some particular phenomena are observed experimentally - The validation of the transpo
High energy efficiency heat pumps for relectrified vehicles and trains – ELEC-HP
The ELEC-HP project aims at developing a family of automotive heat pumps to be sustituted to heating by electric resistances. Barriers to overcome are as follows: - use a refrigerant with a GWP < 150, which presents good energy efficiency in heating for -20 °C outdoor temperature and in cooling
SMART 3D ultrafast Laser fabrication of embedded optical functions in chalcogenide materials using self-improving spatio-temporal adaptive control: Applications in integrated spectrometry concepts for IR astrophotonics applications – SMART_LASIR
The objective is to master laser-induced refractive index changes and optical functions in MIR in bulk mid-infrared materials (e.g. chalcogenides) that respond to requirements in integrated spectrometry concepts. This involves: -generating knowledge on laser structural modifications. -tuning index p
Uncertainty quantification for flows and optimisation – UFO
The applications we have in mind in this project deal with transport (aeronautics) and energy. The const constraints for the civilian and military programs need to master the associated risks, from an accurate evaluation of uncertainties at any stage of the project. One can expect a better control o
Multimodal quantification and validation of 3D regional myocardial function – 3DSTRAIN
The 3DSTRAIN project was submitted last year under the acronym VSTRAIN3D. The main issues reported by the reviewers and the evaluation committee, have been addressed: need for the adaptation of the proposed algorithm to each modality, poor involvement of the industrial partner, evaluation process to
