Abstract
In this work, a new method to prepare fluorinated coatings with mechanical properties enhanced has been developed. Pyridinium, imidazolium, and phosphonium ionic liquids have been synthesized and used as new synthetic building blocks in a polytetrafluoroethylene matrix. The strategy demonstrated using long alkyl chain cations provides an opportunity to prepare nanomaterials with a nanoscale structuration. The design of these new ionic and nanostructured materials is very dependent on the cation–anion combination of ILs. The morphology analyzed by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) shows that it is clearly tuned by the chemical nature of ILs. The finest structuration leads to a dramatic compromise between stiffness and deformation of material. The small-angle X-Ray scattering (SAXS) shows the evolution of the ionic networks during the mechanical sollicitation.
