    Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a well-known polymer used for implants and devices, especially spinal ones. To overcome the biomaterial related infection risks, 4-4′- difluorobenzophenone, the famous PEEK monomer, was modified in order to introduce binding sites for silver ions, which are well known for their antimicrobial activity. The complexation of these new monomers with different...

    Synthesis and computational study of new geodesic polyarenes designed for molecular hydrogen storage and investigation of the Dakin-West reaction mechanism

    Joset, Nathalie ; Jenny, Titus (Dir.)

    Mémoire de master : Université de Fribourg, 2013.

    This work presents the synthesis of a new geodesic polyarene molecule based on corannulene’s motive and especially designed for hydrogen storage. Indeed such curved systems are bearing a dipole moment which can polarize H2 molecules resulting in their adsorption. The complexation of our target molecules with alkali ions would increase their dipole moment as well as the interstitial volume...
