English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
CONT

Certain substances, when incorporated in a polymer melt, promote abundant nucleation. These substances are then called nucleating agents.

  • Chimie
CONT

En effet, des variations de composition permettent aux vitrocéramiques de s'adapter aux caractéristiques attendues d'elles; quant à l'agent nucléant (métal précieux, ions fluor, sulfures, etc.) il va permettre, si l'on nous autorise l'image, d'ensemencer le verre en germes de cristallisation.
