Cemef - Sophia Antipolis

Contract with ARMINES.Rheo-optical and in-situ study of lignocellulosic fibers degradation in a molten polymer matrix during composites compounding.ANR project DEFIBREX (ref.: ANR-12-RMNP-004). Influence of mixing parameters on fibers bundles sizes distributions (length and width) for hemp, sisal, flax and miscanthus; breakage observation coupled with rheological measurements.

Marcoule

CFR contract.Rheological and structural characterization of colloidal gels for nuclear decontamination.Showing with rheology and zeta potential measurements how sol-gel transitions and percolating networks are modified by ions concentrations and pH. Application to the process (spraying, how it stays on a wall) and improving gels efficiency using organic additives.

Marcoule

Design of a topping gel process (patented) for small objects decontamination (hollow, complex geometries, etc.), in order to replace traditional methods and eliminate their disadvantages (liquid wastes generation, leakages). Development of new formulations containing a thermosensitive organic additive and characterization of their rheological properties and substrate attack efficiency.

Toowoomba, Australie

Small company making phenolic resin and glass fibers composites used for construction industry (housing and roads). Formulations optimization using a maximal amount of biobased parts (for example some "wastes" from paper factories) and measurement of their mechanical properties (DMA, traction and three points bending) inside USQ (University of Southern Queensland) laboratories. Scale-up testings for these formulations.

Boucherville (Canada)

Small company specialized in integrating carbon nanotubes inside epoxy resins (applications in sports field, energy and transportation). Help to resume activity (finding new suppliers, equipment setup, quality control, logistics) after a relocation from France to the premises of a business incubator owned by CNRC (Conseil National de Recherches Canada).
