  • Patent number: 9849437
    Abstract: A method is provided for modifying a surface of a solid conducting material, which includes applying a potential difference between this surface and a surface of another conducting solid material positioned facing it, and wherein, simultaneously, the surface (S) is put into contact with a liquid medium comprising in solution triarylamines (I): while subjecting these triarylamines (I) to electromagnetic radiation, at least partly converting them at into triarylammonium radicals. Also provided is a conducting device which includes two conducting metal materials, the surfaces of which, (S) and (S?) respectively, are electrically interconnected through an organic material comprising conducting fibrillar organic supramolecular species comprising an association of triarylamines of formula (I).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2017
    Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (C.N.R.S.), UNIVERSITE DE STRASBOURG
    Inventors: Nicolas Giuseppone, Jean-François Dayen, Vina Faramarzi, Emilie Moulin, Frederic Niess, Bernard Doudin

  • Publication number: 20130037307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for modifying a surface of a solid conducting material, which comprises a step (E), in which a potential difference is applied between this surface and a surface of another conducting solid material positioned facing it, and wherein, simultaneously, said surface (S) is put into contact with a liquid medium comprising in solution triarylamines (I): while subjecting these triarylamines (I) to electromagnetic radiation, least partly converting them at into triarylammonium radicals. The invention also relates to a conducting device comprising two conducting metal materials, the surfaces of which, (S) and (S?) respectively, are electrically interconnected through an organic material comprising conducting fibrillar organic supramolecular species comprising an association of triarylamines of formula (I).
