Abdelghafour SID

Abdelghafour SID joined the MITEC group in autumn 2019. The aim of the thesis is to develop high-frequency flexible electronics on biosourced substrates. The first step was to select materials likely to meet expectations, i.e. biosourced and/or biodegradable materials compatible with high-frequency electronics. To this end, dielectric characterisation of materials likely to meet the requirements was necessary. Once the materials had been selected, the design and production of passive (filters, antennas, etc.) and active RF circuits was tackled.

Abdelghafour SID defended his thesis entitled "Électronique radio-fréquence flexible à base de substrats biosourcés" on 12 June 2023.

Zahir HAMOUDA

The work done in this thesis is in the field of design, fabrication and characterization of printed antennas based on composite materials. Different types of materials have been studied and developed, in particular nanocomposites based on polyaniline (PANI) loaded with carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and composites based on polyaniline loaded with carbon nanoparticles coated with cobalt have been developed and characterized in order to realize printed antennas. Several antennas intended to operate in the 1-8 GHz band have been realized and characterized.

This work was carried out in the framework of a collaboration between the University of Blida 1 (Algeria), the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Mines-Télécom Lille Douai and the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) of the University of Lille.
