INTRODUCTION
Le CREPEC a démontré son dynamisme continu
au cours de son cinquième exercice. Croissance,
évolution et renouveau résument bien le bilan de
l’année 2008-2009.
Ainsi le site internet du centre : www.crepec.com,
s’est doté d’un système intranet. Accessible à
tous les membres son interface conviviale assure
une mise à jour efficace et rapide du profil des
chercheurs, des étudiants et des infrastructures.
De plus www.crepec.com offre également une
page de service et consultation, favorisant la
communication avec les industriels et le grand
public.
Nous vous incitons à visiter le site amélioré du
CREPEC. Nous tenons à remercier Diane
Héroux, Lionel Valéro et Pierre-Jean Alarco pour
avoir mené à bien ce dossier.
Au cours de l’exercice 2008-2009, le CREPEC se
sera illustré à nouveau en recherche.
Dans la première année, du grand projet intégrateur
en nanocomposites, initiative NRC-CRSNG-
BDC 12 projets auront été initiés suivant quatre
thèmes de recherche.
Ces projets impliquent une collaboration étroite
entre l’École Polytechnique, les universités
Concordia, McGill et l’université de Toronto, ainsi
que trois instituts du Conseil national de
recherche Canada : l’IMI, l’IRC et l’IRB.
L’objectif principal du projet est le développement
de nouveaux matériaux performants, répondant
aux attentes des neuf partenaires industriels
impliqués dans les secteurs de l’emballage, du
transport, de la construction et de l’aérospatial.
L’année 2008-2009 aura d’ailleurs été une grande
année pour la recherche en aérospatiale au
CREPEC. Ce sont en effet 11 projets CRIAQ
distincts qui auront vu le jour, représentant plus
du double des subventions CRIAQ par rapport à
l’exercice précédent.
La grande qualité mais aussi l’ampleur des
activités de recherche du CREPEC trouvent
écho dans plus de 300 comptes-rendus de
conférence, cette année et plus de 500 articles
publiés dans des revues à comités de lecture,
au cours des trois dernières années.
La quatrième édition du colloque annuel du
CREPEC : "Avancées en Recherche sur les
Composites", s’est tenue le 10 décembre
2008 à l’Université Concordia.
