Expérimental
Mineral wools are widely used for thermal insulation of buildings. The performance of such fibrous materials depends on the microstructure, setting the need for reliable characterizaton methods. In this regard, Saint-Gobain, in partnership with Gulliver lab at ESPCI-PSL, wishes to explore microfluidic technologies. The goal of this experimental internship is to study the interaction between a single fiber and a laminar flow in a microchannel. To do so, the intern will work at Institut Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, where he or she will have access to a large microfluidic toolbox (channel design and fabrication, imaging, flow measurment...).
