Résumé
Abstract

L'objectif de cet article est de présenter les principales voies de synthèse des mousses dans leur définition générale et la structure typique qui peut être obtenue en fonction de chacune d'entre elles. Nous décrivons d'abord la classification principale de la mousse selon son niveau de porosité (cellules ouvertes, fermées, partiellement ouvertes et mixtes). Nous présentons brièvement les principaux procédés permettant d'obtenir de telles structures (imprégnation ou empilement de particules poreuses, élimination de particules, bullage par injection de gaz ou à partir d'un précurseur et fabrication additive), en mettant plus spécifiquement l'accent sur la réalisation de mousses métalliques. Nous indiquons finalement la structure principale qui peut être obtenue par ces types de procédés et les caractéristiques principales qu'il est nécessaire de quantifier aux différentes échelles de la structure.

This paper aims at presenting the main processing routes that are used to produce foams in their general definition and the typical structure that can be obtained according to the process. We first describe the main classification of the foam according to the level of porosity (open cells, closed cells, partially open cells and mixed cells). We present briefly the main processes to obtain such structures (non-removable space holder stacking and impregnation, removable space holder, foaming from gas or from precursor and shortly additive manufacturing) with a specific focus on the metal foam processing. We finally indicate the main structure that can be obtained with these types of processes and the main characteristics that are necessary to quantify at the various scale of the structure.
