August 2, 2021, Magazine MCI, Les matériaux avancés au service d'une relance innovante et collaborative La relance économique est à nos portes. Les différentes industries, dont celle des matériaux avancés, se mobilisent depuis plusieurs mois afin de rester compétitives au sortir de la crise et de rester pertinentes dans un contexte économique en mouvance. C'est le cas de Louis Laberge Lebel, professeur agrégé au Département de génie mécanique de Polytechnique Montréal, avec son projet de développement de bâtons de hockey en composite thermoplastique sur lequel lui et son équipe travaillent. C'est également le cas de Daria Camilla Boffito, professeure agrégée au Département de génie chimique, avec son projet de développement et d’optimisation d’un design conceptuel d’usine de conversion de CO2 en carburants propres pour le secteur de l’aviation.
