Résumé: The development of smart nanomaterials has attracted great attention in several fields like nanoscience, materials science,engineering and nanotechnology due to their unique response to external stimuli. Many of them are based on polymers thatcan exhibit great shape-changes when submitted to environmental modifications. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, is sucha thermo-responsive polymer. It is water soluble at room temperature, forming gels by cross-linking but undergoes a reversiblecoil-to-globule volume phase transition (VPT) at a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) close to 32 °C due to thedehydration and subsequent collapse of its chains into compact globules. Hybrid nanocomposite microgels associating PNIPAM and gold nanoparticles (GNP) have been designed in order to takeadvantage of the outstanding plasmonic and photo-thermal properties of GNP to promote the volume phase transition of themicrogels through an efficient photo-thermal conversion. With their strong diameter-dependent optical absorption in the nearinfrared (NIR) and their large surface area favoring photo-thermal transfer, semiconducting SWNT (s-SWNT) are goodcandidates for photo-thermal conversion in the NIR and may therefore be used to prepare multi-responsive hybrid microgels(Figure 1). However, to the best of our knowledge, no thorough studies of such nanomaterials have been reported so far. Here we report the preparation of smart SWNT/PNIPAM nanocomposites through non-covalent functionalization techniques.These SWNT/PNIPAM hybrid microgels are stable in water and show a VPT, which can be promoted either by direct heating orby excitation of the resonant absorption of s-SWNT in the near infrared. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) signal of s-SWNT is modulated at the phase transition and therefore, the PL signal can be used to monitor the VPT. This is illustrated inFigure 2, showing coupled Raman/PL measurements below and above the LCST, where a redshift of the PL bands is observedwhen crossing the LCST while the Raman signatures remain essentially the same.

Résumé: Temperature is one of the basic parameters often required to characterize a system. A great demand has arisen for localmeasurements, especially in liquids or complex biological environments. Various approaches have been proposed to study thetemperature at the nano-scale level. Some of them are based on the spectroscopic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT) usedas sensors. Raman spectroscopy is indeed a powerful technique to identify single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and to study theirstructure, defects and electronic properties through the measurement of specific Raman signatures (RBM, D, G and 2D bands).On the other hand, individual SWNT or small bundles emit light in the near infrared and the photoluminescence (PL) spectra isvery sensitive to the quality of the dispersion and the dielectric environment of the nanotubes. In particular, when SWNT aredispersed in aqueous solutions, the PL energies are sensitive to the nature of the surfactants or polymers, to theirconcentration, and to the way they adsorb on/wrap around the nanotubes. In this work we show that the PL/Raman spectra of SWNT dispersed with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is very sensitive to thetemperature (figure 1) in a large range of SDS concentrations. We discuss the influence of the chiral angle of the SWNT onthese PL changes, and the origin of the changes in terms of SDS reorganization at the surface of the nanotubes. Similarchanges are obtained with increasing laser power (figure 2), showing the local heating of the nanotubes. These results pavethe way for the development of SWNT-based nano-thermometers.

Résumé: We have elaborated a new preparation method of ternary AgInS2 and alloyed quaternary AgInS2-ZnS nanocrystals which consisted of two consecutive injections of sulfur (S dissolved in oleylamine, OLA) and then silver (AgNO3 or Ag2CO3 dissolved in dichlorobenzene, DCB) precursors to a mixture of indium(III) chloride, zinc stearate and 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) dissolved in 1-octadecene (ODE). In these conditions nucleation of cubic In2S3 seeds took place followed by the growth of orthorhombic AgInS2 or alloyed AgInS2-ZnS cubic phases to yield a heterodimer type of nanocrystals. In both types of nanocrystals clearly separated photoluminescence peaks could be observed, confirming their heterogenic nature. The first one at 430 nm originated from the luminescence of the In2S3 phase. The second one was ascribed to the presence of ternary Ag-In-S or quaternary Ag-In-Zn-S phases and its position, within the spectroscopic range from 515 nm to 710 nm, strongly depended on the nanocrystals composition. The registered two-dimensional excitation-emission topographical maps clearly indicated that the observed emissions in two different spectral regions were related to the excitations in the same spectral range (300-400 nm), however their photoluminescence mechanisms were distinctly different. The photoluminescence lifetime of 3 ns measured for the emission at shorter wavelengths was typical of the simple mechanism of excitons radiative recombination in the In2S3 phase. Significantly longer lifetime of the longer wavelengths emission (26 s) seemed to clearly indicate that in this case the photoluminescence mechanism was more complex, involving exciton trap states whose positions depended on the composition of the ternary (or quaternary) phase.

Résumé: Downsizing electronic and electric equipment requires the optimization of electric field distributions in order to avoid localized dielectric breakdown (also called partial discharges). This paper presents a novel dielectric composite material aimed at grading electrical local surface stress. This functional material has a conductivity which increases by several orders with the applied electric field giving the ability to distribute the field by itself. It is prepared for the first time by dispersing graphite nanoplatelets in a polymer and may be used as a resistive or capacitive field grading material in electronic and electrical applications. Mechanisms at the origin of the nonlinear behavior are discussed.

Résumé: We clarify some analytical expressions existing in the literature, • Within the correct formulae we conclude that there is no need for an ad hoc improvement on the opposite to the title paper, • We highlight the symmetry properties of the function to be integrated in order to agree with the usual assumptions made to derive the Kramers-Kronig relations, • The analytical formula we provide may be used to increase the accuracy of the "Poor Man's Kramers-Kronig analysis" method and the "Kramers-Kronig constrained variational analysis" method.

Résumé: We report a microscopic model of the phonon-adsorption correlations in flexible metal−organic framework materials. We analyze the mechanism of the gate opening deformation using the notion of coupled phonon- and adsorption-induced structural transformation. Using the ZIF-8 structure as an example, we perform an analysis of transformation-related, low-frequency phonon modes of the framework.On the basis of structure-related quantities such as pore limiting diameter, void fraction, and adsorption uptake, we determine the conditions which lead to the gate opening transformation in ZIF-8. Energetic landscape of the deformation process is analyzed using grand thermodynamic potential of adsorption. We generalize our conclusions to other flexible ZIF structures with the same topology.
