Martel conçut dès 1895, un essai de pénétration dynamique par la chute d'un pénétrateur sur la surface du matériau et la mesure de l'empreinte laissée après rebondissement. Le nombre de dureté était, par définition, égal au rapport de l'énergie du pénétrateur au volume de l'empreinte. La mesure de la hauteur de rebondissement a également été proposée pour mesurer la dureté du matériau. Elle a été reprise par Shore sous la forme d'une petite masse d'acier terminée par un diamant arrondi qui tombe dans un tube lisse, d'une hauteur fixe, et rebondit d'autant plus haut que la pénétration est plus faible, donc que le métal est plus dur. 2, record 3, French, - nombre%20de%20duret%C3%A9%20Shore

Common adsorbents are either polar or hydrophilic types, or nonpolar, hydrophobic types. ... Nonpolar adsorbents, such as coal-derived carbons and activated carbons, are generally used to remove less polar contaminants from polar bulk streams ... 3, record 5, English, - nonpolar%20adsorbent

[A] significant adsorptive characteristic is possessed not alone by carbons, charcoal and chars, but also by such materials as zeolite, silica, alumina, mica and some other. All these differ widely in the number and kinds of substances they adsorb, as well as in the amount of sorbed substances they will retain. In general, the silicaneous, metallic oxides and active earth types of adsorbents are electrically polar-that is, their molecular structure contains an unsymmetrical electron distribution. Since polar substances have strong attraction for one another and since water is highly polar, the polar adsorbents mentioned above retain water in preference to most other fluids and are, therefore, incapable of adsorbing non-aqueous gases efficiently from a humid atmosphere. For use in air conservation, however, which requires a sorbent to extract very small quantities of a very numerous variety of gases and vapors from either dry or humid air during a very brief interval of contact, non-polar adsorbents such as specially processed carbon of high activity, dense structure and extreme relative hardness have been found to be adequate. Activated carbon, being non-polar and hence electronically symmetrical in structure, has no particular affinity for moisture and preferentially adsorbs organic gases and vapors. 4, record 5, English, - nonpolar%20adsorbent
