Scientific Area : Chemistry
Topic specifics :
The tetrazene moiety is comprised of four successively bonded nitrogen atoms, providing three consecutive nitrogen-nitrogen bonds, making it a particularly interesting moiety for energy applications or for complexing metals - which could be harnessed for depollution, trace metal detection or catalysis. In addition, tetrazenes can produce radicals, by extrusion of nitrogen, in the presence of acids or alkylating agents, or by UV stimulus, thus leading to potential initiators of radical polymerizations.
This project aims at developing new polymer structures featuring tetrazene groups as constituent elements, to study their physical properties (and possible recycling). We then wish to evaluate how the insertion of molecular functional units in a polymer matrix affects their intrinsic properties, i.e. how the reactivity of the tetrazene unit will be modified. Thus, we hope to access :
