English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

To convert a prepolymeric or polymeric composition into a more stable, usable condition by polymerization and/or crosslinking.

OBS

A polymer.

OBS

For example, the cure of a bifunctional urethane system takes place by polyaddition, that of a rubber system by crosslinking, and that of a phenol-formaldehyde system by both polycondensation and crosslinking.

OBS

See also "moisture curing."

OBS

cure: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Transformer une composition prépolymérique ou polymérique par polymérisation et/ou réticulation en un état plus stable en vue de son utilisation.

OBS

Un polymère.

OBS

Par exemple, le traitement d'un système bifonctionnel à base d'uréthannes correspond à une polyaddition, celui d'un système à base de caoutchouc à une réticulation, celui d'un système à base de phénol-formaldéhyde à la fois à une polycondensation et une réticulation. Dans le langage courant, on emploie aussi cuire et son dérivé cuisson.

OBS

De nombreux ouvrages donnent aussi, comme synonyme de «cuire», le verbe «durcir». En réalité, le durcissement est un phénomène qui résulte de la cuisson. Il correspond à l'anglais «hardening». «Polymérisation» et «réticulation» sont des spécifiques, correspondant aux termes anglais «polymerization» et «cross-linking».

OBS

traiter; cuire : termes normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 2 2008-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
DEF

[An apron] used in medical facilities to protect workers and patients from unnecessary radiation exposure from diagnostic radiology procedures.

OBS

Protective clothing worn by radiographers contains lead and often other metals(e. g., tin, tungsten, antimony, barium) to shield the wearer from radiation. These metals are homogeneously mixed with synthetic rubber or polyvinyl chloride(PVC). Between two and five thin sheets of metal-impregnated rubber/PVC are placed between sheets of nylon fabric coated with urethane on the side against the lead-impregnated rubber/vinyl. The materials are cut into a pattern and sewn together to form the protective garment. The manufacturers of these garments vary the number of sheets, the percentage of metal, the grade of rubber or PVC, and the mixture of metals to affect flexibility, durability, radiation absorption efficiency, and weight.

OBS

Protective lead aprons and thyroid shields contain lead to shield the wearer from radiation. Lead aprons and thyroid shields are placed between the person being protected and the x-ray source (for example, radiographic or fluoroscopic x-ray units, CT scanners, DEXA scanners). X rays are more likely to interact with large atoms (atoms with lots of protons and electrons) than they are with smaller atoms, and lead, tungsten, and even gold are examples of large atoms that can be used. Each time an x ray interacts, it uses some or all of its energy to knock electrons in the atoms around. When all of the energy is used up interacting with atoms, the x ray ceases to exist.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
DEF

Pièce de caoutchouc plombeux souple, en forme de tablier, servant à protéger le thorax et l'abdomen [...] des rayonnements ionisants.

OBS

Sa protection équivaut à une feuille de plomb de 0,25 ou 0,50 mm d'épaisseur. Son poids le rend difficile à porter en raison des bretelles et on lui préfère [...] la chasuble.
