... titanium foam is made by mixing titanium powder with a polymer, and then adding foaming agents that expand the polymer when heated. Later, through a high-temperature heat treatment, the polymer is removed and the titanium particles are consolidated to provide mechanical strength to the porous structure. 4, record 1, English, - titanium%20foam

La mousse de titane est produite à partir d'une poudre métallique, par un procédé ayant déjà fait ses preuves pour la production industrielle de filtres céramiques : des mousses en polyuréthane (PU) sont imprégnées d'une solution de liant et d'une fine poudre de titane. La poudre se fixe alors sur la structure cellulaire des mousses. Le PU et le liant sont alors évaporés, et il en résulte un négatif des structures mousseuses, qui est finalement fritté. 3, record 1, French, - mousse%20de%20titane

pH must be controlled by the monitored addition of acid or alkali. In very large reactors the problem of long mixing times may make it impossible to achieve a homogeneous pH throughout the reactor, unless high stirring speeds(tank reactor) are used. This may create more of a problem than it solves, resulting in polymer particle attrition in the tank reactor or channelling in the packed bed reactor. 2, record 10, English, - reactor
