En ICPMS [spectrométrie de masse à plasma à couplage inductif], les effets de matrice commencent à se manifester lorsque les concentrations des espèces concomitantes dépasse 500 à 1000 μg/ml [microgrammes par millilitre]. Habituellement, ces effets entraînent une diminution du signal de l'analyte, bien que, dans certains cas particuliers, on puisse observer une augmentation. Les effets de matrice sont tout à fait généraux en ce sens qu'ils apparaissent lorsque la concentration de presque tous les éléments concomitants est élevée. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20matrice

The three types of foam plastic are blown, syntactic, and structural. Blown foam is an expanded matrix, similar to a natural sponge; syntactic foam is the encapsulation of hollow organic or inorganic micro spheres in the plastic matrix; and structural foam is a foamed core surrounded by a solid outer skin. All three types of foam plastic can be produced using processes such as injection, extrusion, and compression molding to create foam products in many of the same shapes as solid plastics products. The difference is that creating foam products requires processes such as the addition of chemical blowing agents, different mixing processes which add air to the plastic matrix, or a unique injection molding process used to make structural plastic. 3, record 9, English, - syntactic%20foam
