“…1). Previous studies confirmed that the inhibition peak (peak I) at the lower cathodic potential is the electrochemical signature for the deposition of an adherent film [7,9]. Therefore, the monomers have been electroreduced in the potential range of peak I, and the electrodeposited polymer, which remains attached to the cathode even in a good solvent for it, has been characterized.…”

“…The longer the chain, the larger the volume of the coil precipitating, the larger the grains, which are made of a number of adjacently grafted chains. The easier PAN chain propagation in DMF compared to ACN [9,17] thus explains the larger variation of the grain size in this solvent.…”

“…The only reasonable explanation is that at least part of the nickel surface has been made available to the EA reaction, which is consistent with the more cathodic potential at which PEA has been grafted compared to PAN during the first scan (comparison of Figs. 10a and 10c), thereby allowing the degrafting of at least part of the originally chemisorbed PAN chains [7,9]. The coating is heterogeneous as seen with the naked eye.…”

“…AN can also polymerize at the more cathodic potential; however the polymerization is then initiated and propagates in solution. This conclusion has been assessed recently by coupling quartz crystal microbalance and cyclic voltammetry measurements [9]. This unusual coating technique has been successfully implemented for the preparation of thin α-emitter sources via simultaneous reduction of AN and uranium salts [10] and of electrical connectors by adequate thermal post treatment of electrografted PAN thin films [11].…”

Electrodeposition of mixed adherent thin films of poly(ethyl acrylate) and polyacrylonitrile onto nickel

et al. 2004

Adherent thin polymer films have been prepared by sequential electrodeposition of ethyl acrylate (EA) and acrylonitrile (AN) onto nickel. Their composition has been studied by IR spectroscopy and time of flight -secondary ion mass spectrometry. Morphology and thickness have been analyzed by atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry, respectively, and compared to single component films of PEA and PAN. No microphase separation was detected in the mixed PEA/ PAN films. These show a granular morphology comparable to that of PAN films. The grains contain the two constitutive polymers, as confirmed by the selective thermal degradation of PEA.

“…Covalent bonding at the interface is then by far the most desirable situation [1,2]. Electrografting of polyacrylate chains onto electrochemically conducting surfaces has proved efficiency for the deposition of very thin polymer films and the chemisorption of the constitutive chains to the surface [3][4][5]. Whenever acrylic monomers are polymerized under an appropriate cathodic potential in a proper organic solvent, the growing chains are chemisorbed onto the cathode even in a good solvent for them [6], which accounts for the terminology of electrografting.…”

Cathodic electrografting is an efficient technique to impart adhesion to poly(meth)acrylate coatings onto inorganic conducting surfaces. Although this technique was restricted for many years to very few monomers ((meth)acrylonitrile and (meth)acrylates) and to deposition of very thin polymer films, recent developments have overcome these limitations. First of all, classical controlled/living polymerization techniques have been combined with cathodic electrografting as a powerful strategy for tuning thickness, properties and reactivity of the chemisorbed organic films. Secondly, thanks to the successful electrografting of a new reactive monomer bearing an activated ester, electrografted surfaces are now available for further derivatization by a wide variety of nucleophiles. Finally, the electrografting process has been extended to the direct electrografting of reactive polymers, i.e. preformed polymers bearing pendant acrylic functions, which opens the way to the grafting of, e.g., polycondensates.

Polymers have been widely used for the protection of metals against corrosion and for improving the performance of structural adhesive joints. In this contribution, the weakness and short‐term durability of these polymer−metal interactions and some common approaches for alleviating this problem are briefly reviewed. Among the existing techniques, electrochemical processes offer the advantage of controlled interfacial reactions. Promising results have been reported by Stratmann et al. and Lécayon et al., who have emphasized the interest and opportunity to create strong chemical bonds between the organic coating and the metallic substrate. Their work is discussed in this review, along with results recently obtained in our group.
