ESR studies in γ‐irradiated and PS‐radiation‐grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride)

International audienceAbstract The fluoropolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride) was irradiated with γ rays to induce a polystyrene (PS) radiation grafting via an indirect method. Electron spin resonance and Fourier transform infrared studies were performed to identify the species that initiated the PS grafting. Specific experiments were performed to prove separately the importance of each kind of radical. A localization of the radicals in this irradiated polymer is proposed, and a kinetic model of the grafting is given. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence evidence in non-bonding transition electron donor-acceptor molecules

International audienceThe exhibition of thermally activated delayed fluorescence on triazine derivative by the introduction of a nonbonding part is demonstrated. Two molecules containing triazine core as acceptor and carbazole part as donor has been synthesized and characterized. One of these molecules bears an additional nonbonding part by the means of a phenoxy group. The results indicated that the molecule bearing the nonbonding molecular part (phenoxy) exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence while not on molecule free of non-bonding group. The results are supported by, photoluminescence, spectral analysis time-resolved fluorescence and time-dependent density functional estimation

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) films modified by UV-induced surface graft polymerization of vanillin derived monomer for antibacterial activity

International audienceNew antibacterial PET surfaces were developed from vanillin-derived biobased monomer. An easy one-step and high yielding synthesis of N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-acrylamide monomer was successfully achieved. PET was modified by a two-step procedure: Type II photoinitiator was first grafted through a PET aminolysis with N,N-diethylethylenediamine, then the photopolymerization of the biobased acrylamide monomer was performed according to a “grafting from” technique. PET surface modifications were characterized by XPS and UV–visible spectroscopies, as well as water contact angle measurements. Finally, antiadhesion biotests were conducted to evaluate the potential antibacterial performances of the modified surfaces against gram-positive (Rhodococcus wratislaviensis and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) strains
