Les nanocomposites constitués de nanoparticules métalliques finement dispersées dans une matrice isolante suscitent un grand intérêt en raison de leurs propriétés optiques, électriques ou antibactériennes permettant une variété d'applications technologiques. Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons aux composites hybrides à base d’ une matrice polymère élaborée par polymérisation par plasma froid (PECVD), imprégnée par la suite avec une solution de sel métallique qui est finalement réduit. Ces nanocomposites sont essentiellement étudiés pour leurs applications et peu d’ études portent sur leur structure chimique et morphologique.Dans ce travail de thèse, notre objectif est ainsi d’ étudier la dépendance des propriétés chimiques et morphologiques de tels matériaux composites vis-à-vis de la structure chimique du polymère plasma, de la nature des nanoparticules métalliques et des fonctions chimiques du polymère impliquées dans les interactions polymère / métal. La matrice sera aussi bien un polymère plasma qu’ un mélange de deux polymères plasma. L'objectif est alors de mieux comprendre la formation de ces nanocomposites, et de montrer leur intérêt dans différentes applications et notamment la détection d'ammoniac. / Nanocomposites consisting of finely dispersed metal nanoparticles into insulating matrix are the focus of much attention because of their optical, electrical or antibacterial properties, allowing a variety of technological applications. In this work, we are interested in hybrid composites based on a polymer matrix synthesized by cold plasma polymerization (PECVD), subsequently impregnated with a solution of metal salt which is finally reduced. These nanocomposites are mainly studied for their applications and less focused on their chemical and morphological structure. In this work, our goal is to study the dependence of chemical and morphological properties of such composite materials on the chemical structure of the plasma polymer, the nature of the metal nanoparticles and the chemical functions of the polymer involved with the polymer / metal interactions. The matrix will be both a plasma polymer and a mixture of two plasma polymers. The objective is then to better understand the nanocomposites formation, and to show their interest in different applications particularly in the detection of ammonia gas.

Neste trabalho, os filmes finos foram obtidos a partir da mistura de ácido cítrico-etilenoglicol-metal complexador depositado a plasma, com 13,56 MHz de radiofrequência na potência de 10 a 50 W e pressão fixada a 10 Pa. Os resultados da análise de espectroscopia de infravermelho FTIR mostrou que os grupos vibracionais dos filmes estavam preservados, mas com modificações em suas estruturas moleculares. Foram observados nos resultados obtidos por espectroscopia fotoelétrica de raios-X modificações na composição química da ligação oxigênio-carbono e oxigênio-hidrogênio com variação da potência de 10 a 50 W. A taxa de deposição dos filmes finos diminuiu de 0,10 a 0,08 nm/minuto com o aumento da potência de 10 a 50 W. As propriedades óticas das amostras como o índice de refração, coeficiente de absorção, gap ótico foram investigados por espectroscopia UV- visível. Destas análises foram possíveis obter valores n de 1,54 a 1,50 e energia do gap entre 4,75 e 4,85 eV. A técnica de ângulos de contato e foi utilizada para investigar a molhabilidade das amostras, que apresentaram caráter hidrofílico em todas as condições de deposição dos filmes. A técnica de EDS foi usada para investigar as composições químicas das amostras. Além disso, os filmes obtidos apresentaram valores de condutividade elétrica superior a 10-8 (Ωcm)-1 e constantes dielétricas entre 2,4 e 2,7. / Plasmas from gases and / or organic vapors produce thin films or powders presenting polymeric characteristics, especially when the plasmas are derived from monomers of the families of hydrocarbons, alcohols, siloxanes, silazanes, and others. In this work, thin films were obtained by citric acid / ethylene glycol / complex metal deposited by 13.56 MHz RF plasma at 10 and 50 W fixed pressure 10 Pa. FTIR spectroscopy showed that the main vibrational groups of the films were preserved, but with modifications in their molecular structures. It was observed by X –ray photoelectron spectroscopy chemical composition modifications in oxygen – carbon and oxygen – hydrogen bond while the deposition power changed from 10 to 50 W. The deposition rate of the samples decreased from 0.10 to 0.08 nm / minute while the RF power increases from 10 to 50 W. The samples optical properties as refractive index n, absorption coefficient, optical gap Eg were investigated by UV – Visible spectroscopy. From these analysis were possible to obtain values of n from 1.54 to 1.50 and Eg between 4.75 and 4.85 eV. Contact angle and surface energy measurements were used to investigate the wettability of composite Polymer films, for all depositions conditions the films presented hydrophilic character. EDS was used investigate components of the samples. Moreover, the film showed electrical conductivity values greater than 10-8(Ωcm)-1 and dielectric constant between 2.2 and 2.7.

Disertační práce se zabývá studiem povrchových vlastností jedno a vícevrstvých filmů deponovaných z vinyltriethoxysilanových a tetravinylsilanových monomerů. Zabývá se také charakterizací adheze jednovrstvých filmů z tetravinylsilanu. Plazmaticky polymerizované tenké vrstvy byly připraveny na leštěných křemíkových substrátech pomocí plazmové depozice z plynné fáze za ustálených podmínek. Povrchové vlastnosti vrstev byly charakterizovány pomocí různých metod rastrovací sondové mikroskopie a nanoindentačních technik jako je konvenční a cyklická nanoindentace. Vrypový test byl použit pro charakterizaci vlastností adheze vrstev. Jednovrstvé filmy připravené za různých depozičních podmínek byly charakterizovány s ohledem na povrchové morfologie a mechanické vlastností (modul pružnosti, tvrdost). Výsledky morfologie povrchu, analýzy zrn, nanoindentace, analýzy konečných prvků a modulů mapování pomohly rozlišit hybridní charakter filmů, které byly deponovány při vyšších výkonech RF-výboje. Nový přístup byl použit v povrchové charakterizaci vícevrstvého filmu pomocí rastrovací sondové mikroskopie a nanoindentace. Adhezívní chování plazmaticky polymerizovaných vrstev různých mechanických vlastností a tloušťek bylo analyzováno pomocí normálních a laterálních síl, koeficientu tření, a snímků vrypů získaných pomocí mikroskopie atomárních sil.

Title: Multicomponent plasma polymers with spatially controlled properties Author: MSc. Pavel Pleskunov Department / Institute: Department of Macromolecular Physics/Charles University Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Prof. Ing. Andrey Shukurov, PhD, Department of Macromolecular Physics / Charles University Abstract: Mixing of two (or more) polymers often leads to phase separation and to the formation of nanoscale architecture, which can be highly attractive in various applications including controllable drug delivery, fabrication of separation and solid electrolyte membranes, gas storage, etc. Different wet-chemistry techniques already exist to produce nanophase-separated polymers; however, capturing the resultant polymeric structure in a predictable manner remains a challenging task. In this thesis, a low-temperature plasma-based strategy is investigated for the production of multicomponent thin films of plasma polymers with spatially discriminated nanoscale domains. Gas aggregation cluster source is used for the fabrication of nanoparticles of plasma polymerized acrylic acid, whereas Plasma-Assisted Vapor Phase Deposition is used for the deposition of thin films of poly(ethylene oxide) plasma polymer. Embedding of nanoparticles into matrices of thermodynamically incompatible plasma polymer as well as...

Diploma thesis deals with glass fiber surface modification using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in order to prepare functional interface that enhances the properties of polymer composites. The effect of deposition conditions on shear strength was observed with respect to the chemical composition of the deposited film. Thin films were deposited on planar substrates and fibers using monomer tetravinylsilane in a mixture with oxygen at selected power of plasma discharge. Chemical composition of prepared material was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. Planar substrate film adhesion was measured using the scratch test. The composite sample was prepared by embedding the surface modified fibers in unsaturated polyester resin, followed by the curing process. The cured composite sample underwent the short beam shear test.
