English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

Polyethersulfone is a new high-temperature engineering thermoplastic with an outstanding long-term resistance to creep at temperatures up to 150°C. It is also capable of being used continuously under load at temperatures of up to about 180°C and, in some low-stress applications, up to 200°C. ... While the sulfone group confers high-temperature performance, the ether linkage contributes toward practical processing by allowing mobility of the polymer chain when in the melt phase. ... Polyethersulfone is especially resistant to acids, alkalies, oils, greases, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols. It is attacked by ketones, esters, and some halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons.

CONT

Polyether Sulfone. This resin is a new high-temperature polymer capable of continuous use at 180°C and in low-stress applications at 200°C. ... The material is self-extinguishing and emits little smoke. It is used in lamp sockets, gearboxes, dryers, irons, heaters, and aircraft components.

OBS

Thermoplastic: Polyethersulfone. Typical tradenames and suppliers: Polyethersulphone (Imperial Chemical Industries).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
CONT

Le terme polysulfone recouvre en fait trois produits très proches en performances mais dont la principale différence est la tenue en température. Le polysulfone [...] Le polyéthersulfone (PESU) est caractérisé par l'absence de groupe aliphatique, ce qui accroît sa résistance à l'oxydation; sa résistance en température continue atteint 175 °C. Le polyphénylsulfone [...]

CONT

Polysulfurés. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle famille de plastiques techniques en développement qui comporte en particulier les polymères suivants : polysulfone (PSU), polyarylsulfone (PAS), polyéthersulfone (PES) [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Physics

CONT

Uranium laser deposited on a Si substrate and transferred in vacuo to analysis chamber for photoemission spectrometry (PES).

OBS

spectrometry : The use of spectrographic techniques for deriving the physical constants of materials.

OBS

photoemission : The ejection of electrons from a solid (or less commonly, a liquid) by incident electromagnetic radiation.

Key term(s)
  • photo-emission spectrometry, photo emission spectrometry

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique
  • Chimie analytique
CONT

La spectrométrie de photoémission permet de caractériser la surface d'un matériau plutôt que son volume (i.e. identification des éléments, quantification, énergie de liaison) mais l'analyse dépend des éléments constitutifs et des conditions expérimentales utilisées. La variation d'énergie de liaison des photoélectrons caractéristiques des éléments présents est exploitée afin de remonter au degré d'oxydation de ces derniers.

Key term(s)
  • spectrométrie de photo-émission, spectrométrie à photo-émission

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

If substances are subjected to irradiation by short wavelength electromagnetic radiation (corresponding to high energy photons) they are found to emit electrons. This is called the photoelectron effect or photoionization and forms the basis of photoelectron spectroscopy. This realm of spectroscopy is concerned with measurement of the kinetic energy distribution of the photoelectrons as these are a guide to the electronic structure of the material being irradiated. The photoionization may be brought about by wavelengths in the far-ultraviolet region and the use of X-rays.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Rayonnements électromagnétiques
  • Chimie analytique
  • Physique nucléaire
CONT

La spectroscopie de photoélectrons consiste à analyser en énergie les électrons émis d'une substance irradiée par un rayonnement électromagnétique X ou UV (ultraviolet). [...] La source de photons peut être soit un tube à rayons X (on parle alors d'XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) [...], soit une lampe UV (on parle alors d'UPS (ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy) [...].
