| Zusammenfassung: | Functionalizing the surface of a material with a smart plasma polymer coating is an interesting alternative strategy to obtain a thermoresponsive material without changing its formulation. On the basis of a low-pressure plasma polymerization process, the present work first aims to fabricate polymer thin films that react via the well-known thermoreversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction (diene/dienophile cycloaddition). A two-step surface modification process based on (pulsed) plasma polymerization enables the design of functional coatings that contain furan (diene) groups. The reactivity of these surfaces with maleic anhydride (dienophile) in solution is thoroughly investigated, mainly by studying the kinetics of the DA reaction by advancing contact angle measurements. The determination of rate constants of reactions at various temperatures leads to the quantification of thermodynamic parameters such as the activation energy of the reaction as well as the enthalpy and entropy of activation related to the formation of the transition-state complex involved in the DA reaction. More interestingly, the design of furan-functionalized coatings with various physicochemical properties enables the understanding of the role played by the density of functional groups and the cross-linking rate of the polymer on the interfacial reactivity. Thus, we show in this work how to control the interfacial DA reaction on plasma coatings by tailoring the operating conditions of plasma polymerization |
