Electrode surface modifications using building block conducting polymers

我们提出的研究计划旨在开发和应用一种使用稳定的导电材料如聚噻吩类(聚吡咯、聚呋喃)进行表面改性的替代方案。我们的策略是通过电化学氧化在电极表面沉积保护性导电层。建议的新方法将有助于克服用于固体表面直接有机修饰的传统方法所遇到的困难，并以方便的官能团或生物有机/生物分子的沉积为目标。官能团的存在使得聚合物表面更容易官能化，以及引入具有不同电子/光学性质的新分子。

Our proposed research program aims at developing and applying an alternative for surface modification using stable conducting materials such as polythiophenes (polypyrroles, polyfurans). Our strategy is based on the deposition of protective conducting layers through electrochemical oxidation on the surface of the electrode. The proposed new approach will help overcome difficulties encountered with traditional methods used for direct organic modifications of solid surfaces and target the deposition of convenient functional groups or bioorganic/biological molecules. The presence of functional groups allows an easier functionalization of the polymers surfaces as well as the introduction of new molecules with different electronic/optical properties.
