THESIS DEFENSE of Harmony RONDELUK - November 21, 2025
This thesis focuses on the synthesis of new bio-based π-conjugated polymers derived from furan for applications in organic electronics, particularly in photovoltaics. Two approaches were explored: electropolymerization, enabling the direct deposition...
An emerging research in maintenance of industrial structures is focused on developing embedded devices capable of monitoring structural health over time and in situ (SHM). P(VDF-TrFE), a piezoelectric polymer, enables the fabrication of screen-printed...
Mini-Invasive Surgery (MIS) has advanced with innovations in micro-catheters and endoscopic devices, moving toward smaller, more flexible tools. Micro-actuators also benefit from smart materials and soft robotics, especially electroactive polymers (EAPs),...
The DE-TECT project develops sustainable photodetectors using bio-sourced, biodegradable materials and printing methods. It redefines materials, design, and architecture to meet strict environmental constraints. A capacitive detection approach with an...
Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE), are serious, life-threatening conditions. VTE are estimated to be the cause of 12% of death per annum in European countries, and 10k-20k deaths in France. Clinical and sometimes biological risk factors of thrombosis...
The DETOX project focuses on new ultrasound inspection methods for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Standard PZT ceramics are efficient but limited by toxicity, rigidity, and design constraints. The project instead develops transducers using lead-free P(VDF-TrFE) polymer,...
The MIGNON project proposes a novel approach for chemical detection in gases by eliminating the need for application-specific sensitive layers, which are prone to reliability issues and require lengthy development cycles. Instead, the strategy relies...
The objectives of OVERPRINT are focused on the drastic reduction of the electronic wastes. We focusses our effort on photovoltaics and photodetectors. Our approach is based on the use of biomaterials for the construction of the devices. 1.New substrates,...
The DE-TECT project proposes to reconsider the architecture and photodetector materials in order to meet societal expectations in term of sustainability of material resources, energy consumption and end of life electronic device wastes. We propose to...
