Polymers for advanced technologies 2nd year

This course will provide background on critical issues on the main pi-conjugated and conducting polymers used as the active materials for the electronics applications. The different methods of chemical, electrochemical synthesis and recent synthetic methodologies will be reviewed. We will discuss the underlying scientific principles that guide the study of structure-property relationships and the supramolecular effects on the modulation of electronic properties. Applications of these polymers in their undoped (organic light emitting diodes, organic solar cells, antistatic layers…) doped state (corrosion, actuators, electrochromic, sensors...) will be described.

In this lecture, students learn polymeric materials for the applications in the medical field, especially their macromolecular structure and organization as well as structure-function relationships. The main families of synthetic and natural polymer materials used in living tissues and/or biological fluids are presented. Emphasis is placed on the properties and characterization of stimuli-responsive polymers and hydrogels that can sense specific biological signals and trigger a therapeutic action appropriate to local pathological or physiological environments. The course will be illustrated with applications in the field of controlled drug release and tissue engineering.

The main goal of this lecture is to provide the students with basic and sound knowledge of the structure/properties relationships in polymers and composites. A deep introduction is first given to understand the characteristic temperatures of polymeric materials, before studying heterogeneous structure. Polymer-polymer blends are explained through statistical thermodynamics, blends miscibility and phase diagrams, phase separation, interface between two immiscible polymers, copolymers and surfactants. The most common modelling methods are described for phase diagram calculation as well as homogenization, practical examples are treated by the students. The scaling effect and the practical improvement in properties that can be obtained from micro- and nanocomposites are also critically reviewed. The prominent ways to add values in polymers through functional properties are described both with practical illustrations and more conceptual description.

This course is devoted to the multiscale study of the structure of polymer materials using small angle scattering (SAS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and rheometry. Besides liquid-state NMR, the course explains how solid-state NMR can be applied to the characterization of polymers. Experimental tricks to obtain high-resolution ¹³C NMR spectra of solids are discussed. Dipolar interactions, chemical shifts anisotropy, magic angle spinning, relaxation times (T1 and T2 and T1g)  and cross-polarization are some of the main notions that are presented in the course. The course is based on examples that were studied with high-resolution solid state ¹³C  NMR. Regarding rheometry, the relationships between the (nano)structure of polymers and their use properties and implementation.

This course addresses the elaboration and characterizations of main polymer materials (polymer electrolytes, electrode binder, membranes, separators) for alternative energies: i.e. lithium batteries, redox flow batteries, fuel cells, super-capacitors, solar cells etc.  We will discuss on the impact of the chemical structures of polymers and membrane manufacturing conditions on the ion conductivity and cell performance. Specific polymers used in the manufacturing of membranes, separators, electrode binders as well active materials in electrode or electrolyte will be presented. The polymers can induce some limitations in the performances of different systems, these aspects will be reviewed and some solution reported in the literature will be discussed.
