+PRECISE +EFFICIENT A key goal of research in the Buschmann and Hoemann groups is to develop technologies based on combining nanostructured polymers with blood components to create hybrid biomaterials for use in repairing joint tissues such as meniscus and cartilage,...
+PROFITABLE +EFFICIENT +ECOLOGICAL Molecular semiconductors are revolutionizing technology and replacing classical hard materials now used in devices such as solar cells. Québec includes international leaders in molecular electronics. The Perepichka group has...
+SMALL +STRUCTURED +EFFICIENT In recent years, phosphor-free III-nitride nanowire light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been intensively studied as a promising candidate for future solid-state lighting and full-color display applications. Compared with the conventional...
+PRECISE +EFFECTIVE Quantum dots are semiconducting particles used in ex-vivo fluorescence biomedical imaging. To consider their in-vivo use, it is necessary to make them more specific (i.e. control their binding to biological ligands) and improve their colloidal...
+EFFECTIVE +PRECISE A thermoreversible compound is sensitive to temperature. A potential application of this property is the localized released of active ingredients to inflammation sites in the body. Coming up with an application of this nature presents a sizeable...
