What are active materials? This book aims to introduce and redefine conceptions of matter by considering materials as entities that 'sense' and respond to their environment. By examining the modeling of, the experiments on, and the construction of these materials, and by developing a theory of their structure, their collective activity, and their functionality, this volume identifies and develops a novel scientific approach to active materials. Moreover, essays on the history and philosophy of metallurgy, chemistry, biology, and materials science provide these various approaches to active materials with a historical and cultural context. The interviews with experts from the natural sciences included in this volume develop new understandings of 'active matter' and active materials in relation to a range of research objects and from the perspective of different scientific disciplines, including biology, physics, chemistry, and materials science. These insights are complemented by contributions on the activity of matter and materials from the humanities and the design field. Discusses the mechanisms of active materials and their various conceptualizations in materials science. Redefines conceptions of active materials through interviews with experts from the natural sciences. Contextualizes, historizes, and reflects on different notions of matter/materials and activity through contributions from the humanities. A highly interdisciplinary approach to a cutting-edge research topic, with contributions from both the sciences and the humanities.

L'après Première guerre mondiale a favorisé le déclenchement de la professionnalisation de la chimie en France, tandis que l'industrie chimique se recomposait dans un cadre économique profondément modifié par le conflit. L'ouvrage présente en premier lieu des organisations nationales et internationales de la chimie. En particulier, des réseaux très actifs de chimie industrielle ont contribué à renforcer les échanges entre spécialistes et à améliorer l'image du secteur. Parallèlement, les modifications profondes des activités industrielles survenues avec l'effort de guerre ont généré la production massive de différents produits chimiques et le développement de nouvelles entreprises. Dans ce contexte, sont abordées les évolutions observées dans différentes zones économiques du pays et dans plusieurs domaines de production. Ainsi les restructurations des industries chimiques et des formations professionnelles dans le Sud-Est de la France sont examinées dans le cadre de la région lyonnaise. Puis vient ensuite la présentation d'initiatives industrielles prises dans l'Ouest (Nantes), le Sud-Ouest (Bordeaux), et le Midi (Toulouse). Enfin, l'étude d'une innovation, qui s'est expatriée aux États-Unis pour se développer avec succès, au moment de la recherche en France sur le « carburant national », est un exemple significatif des hésitations de la chimie dans l'entre-deux-guerres. Développement ou stagnation des activités, tel est l'un des constats faits lors de ce parcours dans une période historique encore peu explorée.

Organochlorines (OC) are organic molecules with chlorine in their structure. There is a large number of organochlorine compounds known. Large amounts of chlorinated organic compounds are produced for industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, household purposes, etc. In many studies, the main focus is on OC that have been evaluated as environmental contaminants with toxic effects on humans. Different types of organochlorines have been produced throughout the world. Some of the most popular classes are organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols, chlorinated alkanes, etc. Organochlorine compounds are very stable. Generally, they are molecules of moderate polarity (low solubility in water). This makes OCs easily soluble in fats. They are found in almost all environments: air, water, soil, sediments and biota samples. They can spread out easily in different geographic altitudes and latitudes. Volatile and semi-volatile OCs have the ability to travel far distances from the place where they were used. Some studies have reported some organochlorines in the North Pole at the same levels as the areas where they were produced or applied. They have the ability to bioaccumulate easily in biota. Passing through the food chain levels, they increase their concentrations (biomagnifying). The main access pathways for OCs to the human body are through foods and exposures. Generally, they display their effects after a relatively long period of exposure. This is the main reason why they were produced and used for a long time before their production and use was banned. The most important health effects that organochlorines can cause are: mutagenic, endocrine-disruptor, carcinogenic and central nervous or peripheral disorders. After identification of the consequences, production of OCs and use was banned in many countries but their effects are still being seen many years later.
