OFFRE DE THÈSE – IS2M

Porous carbonaceous materials are present in many fields of application such as
catalysis (catalyst support), water /gas depollution, gas storage / separation and energy
storage. They have the advantage, with a relatively low cost, to be easily prepared from
biosourced precursors and in monolithic form. To improve the performances of these
bulk porous materials and to extend their field of application, a functionalization of their
internal surface is often carried out but its control is made difficult by problems of
diffusion of the reactive species in the tortuosity of the material. Plasma polymerization
has rarely been investigated to functionalize such materials but could be a relevant
process to achieve such a purpose while being compatible with an eco–design
approach.
