“…Sotzing and coworkers reported an in‐situ method for one‐step assembly of single‐layer electrochromic devices (ECDs) with 3,4‐propylene dioxythiophene (ProDOT) acrylate derivative, for one‐layer electrochromic systems . Electrochromic poly(ProDOT) polymer was obtained with immobilization of the unreacted monomers in the UV cross‐linked polymer matrix.…”

Semiconducting polythiophenes display electroactive properties which make them excellent candidates for applications as electroactive materials. Ability to undergo doping and to switch between different oxidation states allow tuning the chemical and physical properties of polythiophenes. Furthermore, the ability to integrate polythiophenes into copolymers, hybrid composites with metals and inorganic materials make them useful in electronic and biomedical applications. The capability to vary the properties of the final material with low production cost and high processability into thin films makes polythiophenes desirable materials for many applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Figure 2 displays the SEM images for each polymer. [22] The influence of the presence of nanofibers on the high hydrophobicity can be explained with the Wenzel [32] and the Cassie-Baxter [33] equations. By contrast, PProDOT-2-tBu and PProDOT-2,4-iPr were relatively smooth, which explains their much lower surface hydrophobicity.…”

The influence of the substituent size and position of 3,4‐propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) on the surface properties of the corresponding electrodeposited polymer films is shown. The study investigates the influence on the formation of hydrophobic nanofibers using two substituents (isopropyl and tert‐butyl). The 3‐position of ProDOT is the best for the formation of nanofibers, because it leads to the longest polymer chains while also leading to the highest intrinsic hydrophobicity, two effects that increase the formation of surface structures.

Special Issue: From macromolecules to materials to systemsInternational audienceWe report the synthesis of 2,4-dialkyl-3,4-propylenedioxythiophene monomers with various alkyl chain length (n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and their use for the surface modification by electropolymerization. Surprisingly, a drastic decrease in surface hydrophobicity as the increase in the alkyl chain length between n = 2 and 3. The decrease is due to a change in the surface morphology from nanofibers to relatively smooth. Indeed, the increase in the alkyl chain length in the 2- and 4-positions induces very high steric hindrances during the polymerization. As a consequence, the oligomers formed in the first instances are smaller and as a consequence more soluble in solution, leading to smoother films. This work opens new strategies for the elaboration of highly hydrophobic PProDOT nanofibers for potential biological applications
