Une mousse hybride imprimée en 3D absorbe 10 fois plus d’énergie
À la Texas A&M University, une super mousse vient de voir le jour grâce à la fabrication additive. Il s’agit d’un composite capable d’absorber 10 fois plus d’énergie qu’une mousse classique. Cette mousse imprimée en 3D pourrait avoir un impact important dans le...
Optimisation of silica-cork aerogel composites for efficient fire-retardant thermoacoustic barrier
The development and optimisation of silica-cork aerogel composites, prepared with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) as co-precursors and reinforced with short cut aramid fibres is herein presented. Different synthesis parameters, such as...
Reinventing Thermal Management: Advanced Materials for High-Power Electronics and EVs
As electronic devices and EV systems continue to push the boundaries of power density and miniaturization, managing heat has become one of the most pressing engineering challenges. In high-power applications like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN)...
Aero : la France veut créer une filière industrielle souveraine de pièces en composites haute performance capables de remplacer le métal
Depuis deux ans, le projet de recherche Compinnov HT+ auquel participent PME et grands groupes cherche à industrialiser en France la fabrication de composites avancés. Alors que le Scaf et le remplaçant de l’A320 se profilent, ces pièces capables de résister à plus de...
Temperature-aware Power Management of IoT Nodes for Pre-launch Satellite Qualification
This paper presents a test setup for evaluating Internet of Things (IoT) nodes used in pre-launch satellite qualification, with a focus on a temperature aware power manager (PM). The PM dynamically routes energy between a battery and a supercapacitor, entering a...
