La chimie se doit de développer de nouveaux axes de recherche à la fois respectueux de la nature et s’inscrivant dans une démarche globale éco-compatible. Dans ce contexte, l’utilisation des polymères naturels, notamment les polysaccharides, permet de synthétiser des matériaux innovants des applications dans de nombreux secteurs industriels. L’objectif de ce travail est de valoriser les polysaccharides marins tels que le chitosane et le κ-carraghénane à travers l’exploration de deux axes de recherches. Le premier axe est consacré à l’amélioration des propriétés mécaniques, électriques et de sorption de biopolymères par l’incorporation de graphène. Un protocole original a permis de disperser très efficacement du graphène au sein du chitosane pour la conception de films et d’aérogels nanocomposites. L’analyse des films a mis en évidence une amélioration simultanée de la rigidité, de la résistance, et de l’élongation à rupture, pour de faibles teneurs en graphène. Le seuil de percolation permettant l’obtention d’une conductivité électrique n’a pas été atteint aux faibles taux de charges utilisés. L’étude des aérogels chitosane/graphène a, quant à elle, révélé que l’incorporation de graphène aux aérogels de chitosane permettait d’augmenter leur capacité d’adsorption de colorants.Le deuxième axe concerne l’introduction d’hétéroatomes dans la structure carbonée du graphène. Pour obtenir du graphène dopé en azote et en soufre, des aérogels de polysaccharides marins ont été synthétisés, puis pyrolysés dans des conditions contrôlées. Les aérogels carbonés obtenus sont ensuite exfoliés dans l’eau par l’utilisation d’ultrasons. Les groupements amine du chitosane ont permis d’obtenir avec un haut rendement un graphène dopé avec un taux de 5 % d’azote. De plus, il a été possible de moduler de 5 % à 11 %ce taux d’azote par l’emploi de liquide ionique tel que le [EMIm][dca]. De façon similaire, les groupements sulfate du κ-carraghénane ont permis de doper du graphène en soufre avec un taux d’atomes de soufre de 1,5 %. / The chemistry have to develop new research axis both respectful of the nature and joining an eco-compatible global approach. In this context, use natural polysaccharides allow to synthesize innovative materials for applications in many industries fields. The aim of this work is add value to the marine polysaccharide such as chitosan and κ-carrageenan through two research axis.The first axis is consecrated to increase the mechanical, electrical and color sorption properties by introduce graphene filler in biopolymer matrice. An easy and original protocol allowed scattering very effectively graphene in chitosan to design films and aerogels nanocomposites. The analyse of nanocomposite films show an improvement of stiffness, tensile strength and elongation break at the same time with low content of graphene. However, the percolation threshold was not reach to bring electrics properties in films. The study of chitosan/graphene aerogel reveals that graphene allows an increase of color agent adsorbing power such as eosin Y compared with aerogels chitosan.The second axis concerns the introduction of heteroatom in graphene carbon structure. To obtain nitrogen-doped graphene and sulphur-doped graphene, it requires the synthesis of marine polysaccharide aerogel, and their pyrolysis under controlled conditions. The carbon aerogels are exfoliated in water with sonification. Amine groups in chitosan allowed through this process a nitrogen-doped graphene with high yield and nitrogen rate of 5 %. Moreover, it was possible to modulate nitrogen rate with ionic liquid such as [EMIm][dca]. So the nitrogen atom rate increases from 5% to 11%. In similar way, sulfate group in κ-carrageenan gives sulphur-doped graphene with sulphur rate of 1,5%.

Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance has been employed to investigate electro-responsiveness of an ionic liquid as an additive in lubricant oils on a gold surface. Polarisation of the surface reveals changes in frequency where an increase in magnitude amplified the observed response, corresponding to a controllable alternation of the ionic liquid configuration on the surface as a function of applied potential. The frequency changes are due to different packing of the anion and cation, respectively, on the surface as their mass densities and geometries are different. Relaxation of the system was reversible to the application of a potential and it was also found to be diffusion dependent, where the ratio between the ion diffusivities could be extracted from the results. Measurement of the system relaxation reveals a potential decay of that of a discharging capacitor, with an internal resistance inducing an initial potential drop due to the resistivity of the oil medium. The discharge behaviour was also proven to show high internal reproducibility validity within experiments. This newly discovered insight in responsive differences of ion packing is of importance, not only for ionic liquid additives in tribology, but for understanding and exploiting ionic liquids in an array of electrochemical applications.

Pulsed field gradient (PFG) 1H NMR was used to characterize the mobility of ionic liquid cations in porous gas diffusion electrode (GDE) frameworks for metal–air electrochemical systems. The carbon GDE frameworks were produced by electrospinning. It was found that the motion of ionic liquids in the highly porous hosts is more complex than what is commonly exhibited by conventional fluids, which makes a multimodal investigation essential for an adequate description of mobility and wetting of GDEs. Observed NMR diffraction-like patterns cannot be linked to the tortuosity limit but may serve as a proxy for structural features in the fibrous material. While the observed data were interpreted using standard theoretical models, alternative explanations and causes for artifacts are discussed.

The main subject of this thesis is the synthesis and investigation of the properties and potential applications of a new class of hybrid compounds consisting of a rigid, electroactive 4,4’-bipyridinium core capped by nucleobase terminal groups with hydrogen bonding abilities. A new series of small molecules consisting in a 4,4’-bipyridinium unit carrying thymine or/and adenine as capping groups was synthetized. The synthesis strategy implied the regioselective alkylation of thymine and adenine bases respectively, followed by coupling of the alkylated precursors to 4,4’-bipyridine unit via Menschutkin reaction. Electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and optical investigations revealed an intramolecular charge transfer (CT) relationship between nucleobases as donors and 4,4’-bipyridinium unit as acceptor which is accompanied by a change in color and a shift of the reduction potentials (approx. 60 mV). The viologen-nucleobase derivatives, particularly viologens capped by thymine, were used as building blocks to create self-assembled functional nanostructures in the presence of complementary templates such as oligonucleotides or ssPNA analogues via thymine-adenine interactions. The viologen-thymine derivatives were found to partially precipitate oligonucleotides or plasmid DNA by mean of coulombic interactions and form stable polyplexes that could be used as potential gene delivery vectors. It was found that the number of positive charges, as well as the number of thymine units per viologen-thymine derivative determines whether the interaction with DNA is dominated by electrostatic or by hydrogen bonding interactions. New electroactive ionic liquid crystals were prepared by ion pairing of viologen-nucleobase dicationic species with amphiphilic 3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzene sulfonate anion. The nucleobases with ability to self-associate by hydrogen bonding were found to influence not just the thermotropic behavior, by decreasing transition temperature from crystalline to mesophase state, but also the supramolecular arrangement in solution. A versatile approach to functionalize mesoporous TiO2 film with viologen-nucleobase derivatives was developed consisting of hydrogen bonding layer-by-layer deposition of viologen-nucleobase derivatives on TiO2 surface using the thymine-adenine molecular recognition as driving force for immobilization. This method is promising and represents an easy way to construct optoelectronic device components as was demonstrated with the construction of a switchable electrochromic device.
