Education:

      After an MSc in Ceramics, glass & Cement Engineering in 1975 and an MSc in Solid State Physics in 1976 he obtained in 1979 the Ph. D. Hab. degree (Docteur es-Sciences Physiques) from the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie. He was one of the firsts in the world to develop Sol-Gel routes for advanced optoelectronic ceramics. Ph. Colomban studied superionic conductors' structure and ion mobility and worked as Consultant for the French Science and Technology Minister in charge of Passive Components and Materials for Electronics for many years. From 1989 to 1993 he was in charge of the new projects at the Materials Department of ONERA, the French Establishment for Aerospace Research and Development (Materials for rockets and missiles, aircraft engines, Sol-Gel routes, ceramic- or polymer-matrix composites, fibres, nanoparticle-based microwave absorbing materials and Functionally Graded composites...) and worked as Consultant for them for 10 further years. From 1994 to the present, as CNRS Research Professor his research interests include Materials Science and Raman, IR and neutron spectroscopies (in situ analysis, fuel cells, electrolysers, fibres/composites...). Attention is paid to the correlation between Raman parameters and mechanical and electrical (ionic, electronic) properties...as well to the identification of the technology used in ancient ceramics, glasses, textiles, paintings and building.

Abstract:

       Considering the chemical bond and its anharmonic potential well, we will show how the vibrational spectroscopy probes the mechanical behaviour of solid and why Raman microspectrometry is a good method to measure compressive and tensile stress at the nanoscale.1,2 Because the huge anharmonicity of the C-C bond, resonance Raman extensometry was first used to measure residual stress of carbon fibres embedded in polymer2-8 or ceramic matrices.9 The technique provides information on the fibre-matrix load transfer and on the Ineffective Length. Most of the studies deals with residual stress (static measurement) but some measurements have been made under controlled tensile strain.8 We will show that specific attention to the low wavenumber range inform on the intrinsic behaviour of the solid matter, especially before fracture of polymer materials with the example of synthetic and natural polymer fibres (polyamides (PA66), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), poly(paraphenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO), Kevlar, keratin/hair, silkworm and spider silks).10-15 The great advantage of the low wavenumber spectrum is the information provided both on crystalline and amorphous macromolecules. Bonding is very similar in the two cases but a broader distribution of conformations is observed for the amorphous macromolecules. We will describe the procedure (coupling between Raman spectrometer and tensile/compressive stage, control of the thermal effect, spectrum fitting ...) and discuss the modifications induced by the application of a tensile or compressive stress, including the effects of fatigue. The significant role of the 'amorphous' bonds/domains in the process of fracture/fatigue will be shown.12
