Full textOrganic electronics remains a fruitful research field thanks to the diversity of molecular structures reachable by organic synthesis. Molecular materials offer convenient shaping processes, such as solution processing techniques, which can be used for the fabrication of organic devices on plastic substrates.Our works can be summarized as the elaboration of conductometric devices thanks to electrochemistry and the study of their electrical and sensing properties. They deal with two topics: the development of new transducers based on substituted polyanilines and phthalocyanines and the study of the influence of electrochemical modifications on the behavior of known devices.We first developped polymer - phthalocyanine lateral heterojunctions using the properties of polyanilines. Because of their geometry, these new devices differed from the MSDI heterojunction (Molecular Semiconductor - Doped Insulator), a bilayer-based conductometric transducer developed in the laboratory for the detection of gases such as ozone or ammonia. The comprehensive study of poly (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroaniline) indicated that this material was a poor conducting polymer, compared to polyaniline whose conductivity can be increased by acid-base doping. The presence of fluorine atoms prevented the emergence of the conductive regime found in acidic medium for polyaniline and poly (2,5-dimethoxyaniline). These three polymers, electrodeposited on interdigitated ITO electrodes, allowed us, after sublimation of the lutetium bisphthalocyanine, to build lateral heterojunctions. The electrical behavior of the different devices, studied in particular by impedance spectroscopy, differed according to the nature of the substituents of the electrodeposited polyaniline. Finally, sensing measurements revealed their efficiency to detect ammonia in humid atmosphere, with a sub-ppm limit of detection.Previous works on the development of MSDI emphasized the primary role of interfaces, particularly in the case of n-MSDI that contained a p-n heterojunction. In addition to the modification of the chemical nature of the underlayer, another way to play with the interfaces is to electrochemically modify the surface of the interdigitated electrodes by reducing diazonium salts. Thus, we grafted various substituted benzenes, some of which led to the formation of multilayers as revealed by electrochemical quartz microbalance measurements. The various surface modifications mainly acted as an insulating barrier that amplified the nonlinear behavior of the current-voltage characteristics of MSDI. The grafting of 2,5-dimethoxybenzene significantly improved the ammonia sensitivity of MSDI based on copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine and lutetium bisphthalocyanine, with a limit of detection of around 200 ppb

Full textMicrobial contamination on surfaces has become major concern in various areas including industrial process as well as public health and hospitalization. Being aware of several problems causing by adherence and attachment of bacteria on a surface, preparation of antibacterial surface has become a global research interest for researchers in many domains. From the chemistry integrated with material science and microbiology point of view, functionalization of existing polymeric material surfaces is an attractive solution. In this domain, the surface functionalized with covalently grafted antimicrobial polymers represents an ideal solution. In order to facilitate the screening process, it is proposed in this particular research a new approach to obtain polymers with antimicrobial properties both in solution and from surface. The present approach includes a study in controlled (co)polymerization of active ester(s) serving as intermediate templates that can be eventually modified by polymer post-modification process to fabricate polymer of interest with expected antimicrobial characteristics.In general, it is demonstrated herein that the use of Cu(0)-mediated reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) is a suitable technique that allows facile preparation of reactive (co)polymers in solution and from surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate). First of all, this thesis focused on the study of controlled polymerization of pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFPMA) which appeared to be challenging. Furthermore, along with the optimization of polymerization in solution was the investigation of surface-initiated polymerization of this monomer from PET surface. Besides, polymerization of p-nitrophenyl methacrylate (NPMA) and copolymerization of the two active esters by Cu(0)-mediated RDRP were also examined. In addition, polymer post-modification of obtained (co)polymers with various compounds had been proven to be efficient, easy to perform. The structure and characteristics of obtained products were confirmed to match with expectations. It is remarkable that the post-modification can be done as sequential process, single or dual functionalization with several different essential oils, which are natural antibacterial or antioxidant compounds. On the other hand, the success in polymerization and post-modification of polymer of active esters in solution allowed the fabrication of different PET film grafted with polymers that are envisaged to have antiadhesion properties. Attempts to test such properties were also done against two model bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to investigate if expectations are valid

Full textNovel ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) were developed : polymeric micro and nanocapsules with a single core of perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) and a polymeric shell of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) acid. The principal aim of this work was to modify the surface properties of polymeric capsules containing the PFOB, in order to obtain a stealth system that escape recognition and clearance by the reticuloendothelial system and to evaluate their potential used as UCA for tumor targeting. In the experimental studies, we were firstly focused on the surface modification and functionalization of polymeric microcapsules with several phospholipids, PEGylated and biotinylated to achieve steathiness and to attach at their surface specific ligands for the active targeting. Then, the surface PEGylation of polymeric nanocapsules was studied to determine their potential as UCA for imaging neovascularized tumors

Full textThe increasing lack of drinking water in the world is of major concern for the population. Membrane filtration of brackish water, seawater appears to be a viable alternative for the future. Nanofiltration membranes can be obtained by modifying ultrafiltration membranes by the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique. This method also the deposition of an ultra-thin separation layer with a nanoscale precision and with tunable properties. During this PhD thesis, the build-up and the regenerability of the separation layer was investigated. For this purpose, mimicry surfaces were developed in order to study the LbL-assembly on surfaces presenting similar chemical functions as the applicative one. In addition, the deposition time was also investigated in order to determine if the separation properties of the membrane depend on the number of deposited layers or on the coating time. The developed membranes possessed a regenerable separation layer presenting nanofiltration properties

Full textBio-contamination of surfaces and related risks are very important economically and for public health. To prevent this phenomenon, one solution is to modify the properties of the surfaces, in order to give them the wanted functionalities. The goal of this study is the modification of metallic surfaces (steel) or polymer surfaces: poly(ethylene terephtalate) with glycomonomers or bioactives monomers. To reach this objective, a multi-step strategy is applied.The first step enabled the incorporation of reactive species on the surfaces by an acid treatment followed by a reaction with dopamine, or by ammonia plasma treatment. Hydroxyl or amine functional groups are added. Then, an initiator of atom transfer radical polymerization is grafted on surfaces. Monomers are synthesized and conventional polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization are studied. Optimal conditions are determined and polymerization on surfaces achieved. The last step is the study of the microbiological properties of the synthesized surfaces.Protected and unprotected galactose glycopolymers as well as gaiacyl methacrylate and thymyl methacrylate have been synthesized. Monomers have been polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization directly to the steel or poly(ethylene therephtalate) surfaces. After each step, materials are analyzed by contact angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry.Steel surfaces which are functionalized by a glycopolymer and tested in presence of Bacillus subtilis are found to have antiadhesive properties. A most important effect is observed with the unprotected glycopolymer. Poly(ethylene terephtalate) surfaces have antiadhesive properties in presence of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphilococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa when poly(thymyl methacrylate) is grafted. An antibiofilm effect is observed with Staphilococcus aureus.Simultaneously, quaternary ammonium homopolymers and copolymers by integration of bioactive monomers have been obtained. Their antibacterial properties are tested in planctonik conditions in presence of Bacillus subtilis. A degree of polymerization equal to 78 and alkyl halide groups: iodomethane and bromoethane enabled to obtain the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration. Bioactive monomers contributed to emphasize this decrease. The most decreasing effect is obtained when one per cent of N-(4-hydroxy-3-méthoxy-benzyl)-acrylamide is integrated

Full textSubject of this dissertation concerns biomaterials’ surfaces modification. The main attention is paid to the part concerning biomaterial surface functionalization in order to obtain antibacterial activity. Work described here refers to an extremely important and serious problem – the post surgery infections healing or elimination. Bacterial infections at the site of implanted medical devices present a serious source of complications leading, if untreated, to chronic microbial infection, inflammation, tissue necrosis, septicemia and eventually to death. Purpose of this work was to obtain a new type of antibacterial, active biomaterial’s surface coating. Two separate approaches are proposed: first one – coating containing silver ions and second – coating containing silver nanoparticles. Strategy that was chosen for obtaining this aim was functionalization of surface with polyelectrolyte layers and silver in different forms. Silver, active against a wide range of bacteria, is an alternative for the less and less effective antibiotics. Application of silver constitutes the answer for constantly increasing number of multi drug resistant bacteria strains and related to this need for new solutions. In this work two forms of silver – ions and nanoparticles were used. In the first approach use of polyelectrolyte multilayer and application of controlled release of silver nitrate from liposome aggregates were proposed. Polyelectrolyte multilayer film was obtained by the alternate deposition of cationic and anionic polymers PLL/HA according to the layer-by-layer (LbL) method. This technique allows preparing nanoarchitectures exhibiting specific properties. Thick and well hydrated (PLL/HA)20 polyelectrolyte film provides an ideal base for liposomes embedding, and enables application of proposed coating on wide variety of solid surfaces. Aggregation of vesicles allowed reaching bactericidal concentration of silver ions. Vesicles membrane composition was optimized to controlled release of encapsulated silver salt under external stimuli - temperature. Controlled release of active dose of silver ions at the site of implantation ensures obtaining the fast bactericide effect during the critical short post-implantation period without reaching the systemic toxicity level of the agent. According to the concentration of AgNO3 encapsulated in the coating, time of reaching the complete bactericidal effect can be as fast as several to tens minutes. Biocompatible character of the surface was obtained thanks to inert properties of used polyelectrolytes. In the second approach colloidal silver was used in combination with hydroxyapatite and polyelectrolytes – pLL and PGA. Polyelectrolytes and Layer by Layer method principles were used to combine silver nanoparticles with bone implant material – hydroxyapatite. Obtained constructions were tested with several bacteria strains. Application of silver nanoparticles to coating construction resulted in obtaining antibacterial properties of HAp. Thanks to proper choice of applied modern techniques the aim of the thesis is reached. Proposed solutions constitute alternative to systemic antibiotic treatment and proposed modified biomaterials limiting bacteria adhesion. Character of designed coating is universal. Possiblity of its application to the different than antibacterial purposes makes the coating an interesting tool to an easy functionalization of desired surface

Full textThe aim of this study was to develop various surface modification procedures for 316 stainless steel to improve its long term performances as endovascular stents. The strategy behind this work was divided into two parts: surface pre treatments and surface coatings. Chemical composition, roughness and topography of the metallic surfaces were modified by the surface pre treatments in order to prepare the substrates for the post deposited coatings that would form an impermeable barrier completely isolating the metallic device from body fluids. Surface pre treatments of the metallic surfaces consist of mechanical and electrochemical polishing, ultrasonic cleaning, dipping in alkaline and acidic solutions, and plasma etching. The aim was to obtain a smooth and homogeneous surface of the substrate as well as to remove any fragile interlayer, particularly the metallic oxide and the contamination layers. Characterization of the modified surfaces was performed by X ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Optimized surface properties were obtained by combining ultrasonic cleaning, electrochemical polishing, acid dipping and plasma etching. Of the above mentioned methods, emphasis was placed on the electrochemical polishing procedure. Ultra thin fluorocarbon films were deposited on pre treated stainless steel surfaces by radio frequency glow discharge plasma, after modulating plasma deposition parameters in order to promote the polymerization process. Films were then partially hydrogenated, amorphous, highly hydrophobic, smooth and pinhole free. Depositions under optimal polymerization conditions were also performed on as received substrates and lead to the formation of partially hydrogenated, porous fluorocarbon coatings that consisted of heterogeneously distributed nanospherical particles. Thus, pre treatments prior to deposition were essential, demonstrated by their strong influence on the morphology of the plasma polymer films. Finally, plasma polymer films were validated with respect to impermeability in a medium reproducing the physiological conditions in the coronary arteries.

Full textThe effect of three disintegration treatments (ultrasound, heat, ozone) used to reduce sludge production in sewage treatment plants on the uptake of cadmium and copper by activated sludge was studied. Pilot studies showed that sonication and heat treatment caused over-accumulation of cadmium in excess sludge and copper leaking through treated effluent. During sonication, the increase of particles specific surface area and the increased availability of negatively charged sites induced an increase of cadmium sorption at floc surface. Precipitation was also favored due to the increased concentration of soluble phosphates. These phenomena were also observed after heat treatment and ozonation but were offset by a decrease of the amount of binding sites. Following the three treatments, copper uptake by sludge was limited due to complexation with the organic matter solubilized during treatment. The development of a sorption model successfully described the affinity between these compounds and copper

Full textThis research project, in collaboration with CTP (Centre Technique du Papier), aimed at developing chemical pathway in water to graft polymers on cellulose fibers via “Click Chemistry” in eco-friendly and non-degrading conditions conferring new mechanical properties upon the resulting paper sheets. A first step was to develop a “green” alkyne derivatization method in mild conditions – through pure water or water/isopropanol mixture – allowing for a substantial alkyne functionalization without jeopardizing the cellulose crystallinity, the fiber structure, and maintaining good mechanical properties of the cellulose fibers and resulting paper sheets. To better understand how the functionalization impacts the mechanical properties, several microscopy methods were employed. Then, aiming at improving mechanical properties of the resulting paper, grafting of azidefunctionalized polyoxyalkylenes on alkyne-modified fibers was achieved via Copper(II)-Catalyzed Alkyne-Azide Cycloaddition (CuAAC) in pure water. Water soluble polymers of different nature (poly(ethylene glycol) or poly[(ethylene glycol)-stat-(propylene glycol)]), with different molar mass and functionality (one or two azide groups per macromolecular chain) were successfully attached on cellulose fibers. Grafting of PEG chains involved a slight decrease of the tensile index but a drastic increase of the flexibility of the paper sheet. Interestingly, fibers grafted with difunctional polymers demonstrated an original water resistance maintaining the hydrophilic nature of fibers. Finally, Thiol-Yne reaction was successfully carried out to attach small water soluble thiol-bearing reagents on alkyne-functionalized fibers in water as a metal-free alternative to CuAAC reaction

Full textSince the nineties, Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry (DCC) has proven to be an efficient approach to design receptors capable of specific molecular recognition. Using this strategy for protein post-translational modification recognition, we serendipitously identified then isolated two potential aminoacids receptors, which are sensitive to the polarity of the nearest neighbor. On the basis of this preliminary study, we developed a new molecular family of multifunctional dynamic pillararene-like: the dynarenes. After the development of new synthetic routes to obtain constitutive building blocks, first studies in DCC allowed us to validate the use of such building blocks for multivalent receptor design, with optimized size and function. By developing efficient gramme-scale syntheses of new receptors, we study the conformational dynamics of the new compounds

Full textThis work focuses on the development of methods for the chemical modification of the surface of injectable nanoparticles (NPs) for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Hybrid NPs,consisting of an inorganic core and a macromolecular polyethylene glycol (PEG) corona with well established physico-chemical surface characteristics (grafting densities, surface charge, corona thickness) have been synthesized as part of a study of their pharmacokinetic (PK) performance. The results showed in particular that it was possible to modulate the circulation times as well as the tumor accumulation levels of these NPs according to their surface physico-chemical properties. The addition of surface biomolecules was studied to observe the role of active targeting on pharmacokinetics and tumor accumulation. This method of covalent chemical modification was subsequently applied to magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in order to develop new negative (T2) and positive (T1) contrast agents in MRI. The surface chemistry of iron oxide NPs was studied to improve their thermogenicityand efficiency in magnetic hyperthermia. The direct effect of the temperature dissipated under magnetic induction of NPs could be studied in vivo (thermo-ablation or thermo-stimulation of the microenvironment) while avoiding the toxic effects due to the presence of NPs. The development of a biocompatible oily ferrofluid based on iron oxide NPs modified by chemisorption of phospholipids on their surface allowed to increase tenfold their thermogenic power. The efficiency of these oils under an alternating magnetic field was evaluated in vivo in the context of their application

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The properties and interactions of cellulose surfaces are of a great technical interest during papermaking and recycling. Sizing, the modification of fiber surfaces, e.g. with the purpose to reduce water penetration into the paper structure, plays an important role in obtaining paper with good printability and water resistance. Water resistance is the key end-property of paper being investigated in this study. Firstly a comparison was made between the degree of surface modification of cellulose by means of anionic, nonionic and reactive surfactants. The amount of surfactant adsorbed by the paperboard was determined and the paper surface evaluated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sizing efficiency of the three industrial surfactants was evaluated in order to establish the surfactant structure best suited for sizing recycled paperboard. This was done via the Cobb test, an industrial method to measure water uptake by paper, and contact angle measurements. The reactive surfactant was found to have the best sizing efficiency and focus shifted to synthesizing selected copolymer surfactants via free radical copolymerization. Two copolymers were synthesized, with maleic anhydride as the polar part in both. Butyl methacrylate and lauryl methacrylate were selected as the hydrophobic parts in the respective copolymer systems. The unavailability of reactivity ratios for the respective copolymer systems led to the use of in situ proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy CH NMR) for the determination of the co-monomer incorporation in both copolymer systems. Quantitative 13C NMR spectroscopy was also employed in order to establish the co-monomer content of the isolated copolymers obtained during bench-scale (laboratory) experiments. Lastly, a comparison of the degree of surface modification of cellulose was made between that which was achieved with the industrial reactive surfactant and that with the two synthesized polymeric reactive surfactants. The two synthesized polymeric surfactants were found to have a better sizing efficiency than the industrial reactive surfactant, and the maleic anhydride-lauryl methacrylate copolymer system gave the best results.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die eienskappe en interaksies van sellulose-oppervlaktes is van groot tegniese belang gedurende die vervaardiging en hergebruik van papier. Oppervlakte behandeling, die modifikasie van vesel-oppervlaktes bv. met die doel om water indringing in die papierstruktuur te verminder, speel 'n belangrike rol in die daarstel van papier met goeie drukkwaliteit en waterweerstand. Waterweerstand is die sleuteleienskap van papier wat in hierdie werkstuk ondersoek word. Eerstens is daar 'n vergelyking getref tussen die verandering van sellulose-oppervlaktes deur middel van anioniese, nie-ioniese en reaktiewe sepe. Die hoeveelheid seep geabsorbeer deur die papierbord is bepaal en die papier-oppervlak ondersoek deur middel van skandeer-elektronmikroskopie (SEM). Die behandelingsdoeltreffendheid van die drie industriele sepe is ondersoek om vas te stel watter seep die beste struktuur het om hergebruikte papierbord effektief te behandel. Dit is gedoen deur middel van die Cobbtoets, 'n industriele metode om wateropname van papier te meet, asook kontakhoekmetings. Daar is gevind dat die reaktiewe seep die beste behandelingsdoeltreffendheid het en daar is vervolgens gekonsentreer op die bereiding van geselekteerde reaktiewe kopolimeersepe deur middel van vryeradikaalkopolimerisasie. Twee kopolimere is berei, met maleienanhidried as die polere gedeeite van albei. Butielmetakrilaat en laurielmetakrilaat is gekies vir die nie-polere gedeeltes van die onderskeie kopolimeersisteme. Die onbeskikbaarheid van reaktiwiteitsverhoudings vir die onderskeie kopolimeersisteme het gelei tot die gebruik van in situ proton kern magnetiese resonansie spektroskopie eH KMR) vir die bepaling van die ko-monomeer insluiting in beide kopolimeersisteme. Kwantitatiewe koolstofdertienkemmagnetieseresonansie spektroskopie (13C KMR) is ook gebruik om die ko-monomeerinhoud van die geisoleerde kopolimere, verkry tydens laboratoriumeksperimente, te bepaal. Laastens is 'n vergelyking getref tussen die graad van modifikasie van selluloseoppervlaktes deur middel van die industriele reaktiewe seep in vergelyking met die twee bereide polimeriese reaktiewe sepe. Daar is gevind dat die twee gesintetiseerde polimeriese sepe beter behandelingsdoeltreffendheid as die industriele reaktiewe seep het, met die maleienanhidried-laurielmetakrilaat-kopolimeersisteem wat die beste resultaat lewer.

Full textCette recherche est basée sur l'hypothèse qu'en immobilisant la protéine Fibronectin (FN) sur une surface métallique, il serait possible d'améliorer les interactions entre les cellules endothéliales et la surface. Un lien covalent a été fait entre FN et le group terminal de COOH apparentant à une couche unitaire de molécules assemblées (CUMA) sur une surface en or. Les CUMAs étaient composés de plusieurs fraction des groupes terminales X/COOH (X=CH3, OH, NH2) dans le but de modifier la charge et l'hydrophobicité sur la surface afin de contrôler la conformation de FN. L'attachement et la prolifération des cellules provenant d'une veine ombilicale humaine (CVOH) furent investigué sur ces surfaces. Les résultats démontrent que les surfaces constitués de CUMA et CUMA-protéine sont stables avec le temps. Les surfaces CUMA-FN ont éprouvé plus d'activités cellulaires comparées aux surfaces de CUMA. Ces derniers étés plus avantageux que les surfaces d'or. Les surfaces composées des groups NH2/COOH, qui étés de nature chargée et hydrophilique ont obtenu le plus haut niveau d'activités cellulaires.
