Introduction
Mutatis mutandis, CREPEC en évolution, la
quatrième année d’exercice du centre s’est déroulée
sous le signe du renouveau dans le cadre de
l’amélioration continue de sa performance.
Ainsi le nouveau site Internet du centre :
www.crepec.com, à la fois simple d’accès, pratique et
élégant, est appelé à devenir l’interface de
communication centrale du CREPEC pour ses
membres, les industriels et le grand public. Nous
tenons à remercier Diane Héroux et Guy-Pierre
Boucher pour avoir mené à bien ce dossier.
Le CREPEC s’est également doté d’un nouvel agent de
développement en la personne de Pierre-Jean Alarco.
M. Alarco a notamment le mandat d’accroître les
échanges avec l’industrie ainsi que d’établir une
cohésion accrue au sein du centre et de ses
institutions. Nous lui souhaitons une grande réussite
dans cette entreprise.
Au cours de l’exercice 2007-2008, le CREPEC aura
connu de nombreux succès. Les efforts soutenus du
centre furent récompensés avec le lancement d’un
grand projet intégrateur en nanocomposites ; une
initiative CNRC-CRSNG-BDC.
Exemple parfait de la vocation du Centre, ce projet
multidisciplinaire implique des partenaires du Québec
et de l’Ontario : l’ École Polytechnique, les universités
Concordia, McGill et de Toronto, ainsi que trois
instituts du Conseil national de recherche Canada :
l’IMI, l’IRC et l’IRB.
De plus, neuf partenaires majeurs industriels
apporteront leur soutien au projet.
Celui-ci visera à fournir des réponses pratiques et
concrètes aux besoins de l’industrie dans les secteurs
de l’emballage, du transport, de la construction et de
l’aérospatial.
Bien sûr, plusieurs autres projets caractéristiques de
la synergie entre les membres du CREPEC virent et
verront le jour. Notons ainsi le projet CRIAQ-CRSNG-
CRD impliquant l’École Polytechnique, l’Université
McGill, le CNRC-AMTC et deux partenaires
industriels (Bell Helicopter et Delastek).
L’effervescence des activités scientifiques du Centre
s’illustre bien avec près de 200 comptes rendus de
conférence cette année, et plus de 400 articles publiés
dans des revues à comité de lecture, au cours des trois
dernières années.
Rapport Annuel / Annual Report 2007‐08
Mutatis mutandis, CREPEC’s fourth year of activity
was held under the sign of renewal towards the
continuing improvement of its performance.
Such is evidenced by the Center’s new web site:
www.crepec.com. This user friendly, practical and
elegant site is to become the main communication
interface for CREPEC, its members, industry and the
general public. We would like to thank Diane Héroux
and Guy-Pierre Boucher for their handling of this
issue.
CREPEC also appointed a new Development Officer in
the person of Pierre-Jean Alarco. Mr. Alarco’s mandate
involves, among other things, to facilitate exchanges
with industry and improve the cohesion within the
Center and its affiliated institutions. We wish him
great success in this endeavor.
During 2007-2008, CREPEC has had many success
stories. The continuing efforts of the Center were
rewarded with the launching of a great integrative
project on nanocomposites, a NRC-NSERC-BDC
initiative.
A perfect example of the Center’s mission, this
multidisciplinary project involves partners from
Quebec and Ontario: École Polytechnique, the
Universities of Concordia, McGill and Toronto, as well
as three National Research Council Institutes: IMI,
IRC and BRI.
Moreover, nine major industrial partners will support
the project.
The goal of the project is to provide practical and
tangible answers to the needs of the industry in the
fields of packaging, transportation, construction and
aerospace.
Of course, several other projects illustrating the
existing synergy between CREPEC’s members have
been and will be initiated, such as a CRIAQ-NSERC-
CRD initiative involving École Polytechnique, McGill
University, NRC-AMTC and two industrial partners
(Bell Helicopter and Delastek).
The effervescence of the Center’s scientific activities is
well illustrated with nearly 200 conference papers this
year and over 400 peer-reviewed articles published
within the last three years.
The third edition of the annual CREPEC colloquium,
held on December 12th , 2007, at École Polytechnique,
was a success.
3

La troisième édition du colloque annuel du CREPEC,
tenue le 12 décembre 2007 à l’École Polytechnique, fut
une réussite.
Le colloque aura réuni quelque 140 membres
professeurs, chercheurs et étudiants qui auront assisté
à des conférences remarquables sur les récents
développements dans le domaine des matériaux
avancés.
Soulignons la présence d’un invité de marque du
CREPEC : le professeur Christopher W. Macosko du
département de Génie chimique et sciences des
matériaux de l’University of Minnesota (Minneapolis,
Minnesota). M. Macosko a présenté une conférence
intitulée : “Stability of Co-continuous Polymer Blends”.
Notons également la présentation du docteur Patrice
Lucas de la compagnie Nanoledge inc.
L’ensemble des étudiants du CREPEC auront
présenté leurs projets de recherche respectifs au cours
du traditionnel concours de posters. Avec un record de
soixante-cinq inscriptions, les participants auront su
saisir l’attention des membres par la qualité de leurs
affiches.
Le premier prix fut décerné à M. Christian Fauteux de
l’École Polytechnique, le second prix est allé à M. Nick
Virgilio, également de l’École, alors que la troisième
place revint à Mme Spitsina Svetlana de l’université
Concordia.
Nous tenons à remercier tous les participants et à
féliciter les lauréats.
Le prochain colloque annuel du CREPEC aura lieu le
10 décembre 2008 à l’Université McGill. Nous
attendons plus de 200 participants dont quelques
invités de l’industrie des polymères et des composites.
Le CREPEC a organisé de nombreux séminaires de
conférenciers invités venant de plusieurs institutions à
travers le monde, comme le montre la liste dans le
rapport. Ces séminaires sont extrêmement précieux
pour la formation de nos étudiants chercheurs.
Le CREPEC fut aussi un commanditaire
important de la 9ième conférence
internationale sur les “Flow Processes in
Composite Materials” (FPCM-9), qui se
tiendra à Montréal du 8 au 10 juillet 2008.
Organisée de concert par la chaire CCHP,
l’École Polytechnique et l’Université McGill

Ruiz).

Plusieurs membres du CREPEC se sont illustrés au
cours de l’année 2007-2008, autant au niveau national
qu’international. Doctorats honoris causa, distinctions
de recherche et autres prix ont récompensé l’excellence
des travaux de nos membres (cf. section « Faits
saillants » pour plus de détails).
Trois nouveaux membres se sont joints au CREPEC
durant l’année 2007-2008 : les professeurs
Fouad Erchiqui et François Godard de l’unité
d'enseignement et de recherche en sciences appliquées
de l’Université du Québec Abitibi-Témiscamingue, et
la professeure Annie Ross du département de Génie
mécanique de l’École Polytechnique.
Nous sommes heureux de les compter parmi nos rangs
et les invitons à participer à des ateliers de travail et
des projets de recherche regroupant des chercheurs
ayant des expertises connexes ou complémentaires à la
leur.
Nous voulons ajouter à ces arrivées un départ notable :
celui du professeur Mosto Bousmina. Le prof.
Bousmina a apporté une indéniable contribution au
CREPEC.
Il nous quitte pour constituer un Institut de recherche
sur les matériaux et les nanotechnologies au Maroc.
Nous lui souhaitons de réussir dans cette entreprise.
LABORATOIRE POLYNOV
Sous la direction du professeur Pierre Carreau, ce fer
de lance du CREPEC est aussi en évolution. Il
continue toutefois sans problème de remplir son
double rôle de laboratoire industriel et académique.
Au cours du présent exercice, une dizaine de clients
industriels, principalement des États-Unis mais aussi
du Canada, auront bénéficié de l’expertise de l’équipe
et des installations uniques du laboratoire Polynov.
Polynov donne aussi sa place à la recherche
académique. D’une part avec M. Farhad Sadeghi, qui
poursuivra ses travaux de compoundage à Polynov, et
d’autre part, M. Hesam Tabatabaei, qui a mené à bien
un projet visant la fabrication de membrane semiperméables.
Les deux projets sont sous la direction du professeur
Carreau.
Rapport Annuel / Annual Report 2007‐08
Several CREPEC members illustrated themselves
during the year 2007-2008, at both the national and
international level. Honoris Causa doctorates,
research awards and other distinctions rewarded the
excellence of our members’ work (cf. the “Highlights”
section for details).
Three new members joined CREPEC during the year
2007-2008: Professors Fouad Erchiqui and François
Godard of the Applied Sciences Teaching and Research
Unit of Université du Québec en Abitibi-
Témiscamingue and Professor Annie Ross of the
Mechanical Engineering department of Polytechnique.
We welcome them and invite them to take part in
workshops and collaborate to research projects
involving members with similar or complementary
expertise.
To these new arrivals, we would like to mention one
departure: that of Professor Mosto Bousmina.
Professor Bousmina’s contribution to CREPEC is
undeniable.
He is leaving us to create a Research institute on
materials and nanotechnologies in Morocco. We wish
him success in this venture.
POLYNOV LABORATORY
Under the supervision of Professor Pierre Carreau,
CREPEC’s flagship laboratory is also changing.
However, it continues to fulfill its double role as an
industrial and academic facility.
During the present fiscal year, ten industrial
customers, mainly from the United States but also
from Canada, have taken advantage of the team’s
expertise and the unique installations of Polynov.
Polynov has also started academic research projects.
Dr. Farhad Sadeghi will pursue his compounding work
at Polynov and Mr. Hesam Tabatabaei concluded a
project on the manufacturing of porous membranes.
The two projects are under the supervision of professor
Carreau.
