Azidomethyl-EDOT as a Platform for Tunable Surfaces with Nanostructures and Superhydrophobic Properties

Abstract: We report for the first time the use of click chemistry both to modify the surface morphology and to obtain superhydrophobic properties. Using click chemistry as a postfunctionalization of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanofibers bearing azido groups, we show that the nanostructures already present on the surface as well as the surface hydrophobicity are highly affected by the used alkyne. These results allow one to envisage widely varied strategies to modify nanostructured surfaces while introducing variou… Show more

“…In the literature, the functionalization by azido groups is widely employed to perform modification by the Huisgen reaction (click chemistry) [17,18,27]. In this work, we reported for the first time that the Staudinger-Vilarrasa reaction can also be used with azido groups for surface modification by formation of amide linkers.…”

“…This reaction has been reported for successful post‐functionalization of conductive polymer surfaces . However, owing to the properties of the triazole formed during the reaction and especially its basicity, which renders it not suitable for the electropolymerization process, this strategy is not suitable in our case . Also, based on the azido group reactivity, other click reactions such as the variation of the Staudinger reaction have been successfully used to prepare monomers suitable for functionalization .…”
