RESUMO
For the development of selective and sensitive chemical sensors, we have developed a new family of poly(ether-phosphoramide) polymers. These polymers were obtained with satisfactory yields by nucleophilic aromatic polycondensation using isosorbide as green resources, and bisphenol A with two novel difluoro phosphinothioic amide monomers. Unprecedented, the thiophosphorylated aminoheterocycles monomers, functionalized with two heterocyclic amine, N-methylpiperazine and morpholine were successfully obtained by nucleophilic substitution reaction of P(S)-Cl compound. The resulting polymers were characterized by different analytical techniques (NMR, MALDI-ToF MS, GPC, DSC, and ATG). The resulting partially green polymers, having tertiary phosphine sulfide with P-N side chain functionalities along the main chain of polymers are the sensitive film at the surface of a gold electrode for the impedimetric detection of Cd, Ni, Pb and Hg. The bio-based poly(ether-phosphoramide) functionalized with N-methylpiperazine modified sensor showed better analytical performance than petrochemical based polymers for the detection of Ni2+. A detection limit of 50 pM was obtained which is very low compared to the previously published electrochemical sensors for nickel detection.

This work reports the influence of the chemical structure of two sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone)s (SPAEK) on the hydration and gas transport mechanism of thin membranes made thereupon. For this purpose, two sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketone)s having the same ionic exchange capacity (IEC) but bearing a different repartition of the sulfonic acid groups along the polymer backbone were prepared. These polymers were synthesized by direct copolymerization of two specific sulfonated precursors, bisphenol AF and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone. The morphology of the membranes was studied by transmission electron microscopy, and the thermal properties of the ionomers were determined from differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyses. A detailed analysis of the water sorption isotherms and kinetics was performed. The gas transport properties were also determined for He, H(2), and CO(2) in the full range of water activity. From the detailed analysis of the water sorption isotherm and of the relative contributions of the Fickian diffusion and relaxation phenomena, a water sorption mechanism was proposed in relation with the SPAEK architectures and polymers' chain mobility. This mechanism allowed explaining the different evolution of the gas transport properties observed as a function of the gas nature and hydration rate.
