Postfunctionalization is a key tool for the elaboration of hydrophobic surfaces. For that purpose, the elaboration of surfaces suitable for the Huisgen reaction allows for functionalization with various hydrophobic side chains. Here the synthesis of azido or alkyne monomers is reported to prepare platform surfaces suitable for click chemistry. The surface hydrophobicity and morphology are investigated. Superhydrophobic and parahydrophobic properties are obtained depending on the starting monomer and the molecule used for the postfunctionalization.
