Marcelle-Gauvreau Engineering Research Chair in environmentally friendly composite materials
About the Chair
For many years, composites have been used in the structure of commercial aircraft and the blades of wind turbines. These materials boast exceptional properties, but there are not many solutions for recycling them, which means that these structures generally end up in landfill sites at the end of their life cycle.
The goal of the Marcelle-Gauvreau Engineering Research Chair in environmentally friendly composite materials is to address this issue by developing repair processes aimed at extending the life of existing structures and methods for recovering production waste and recycling composite materials.
