Structured Liquids (Ionic Liquids): Applications from Polymer Recycling to Corrosion Prevention (Part 1)
Ionic liquids have transformative potential across industries, particularly in green solvents and liquid electrolytes development. Our advances in polymer composites and ionic liquids have been…
Plastic recycling and upcycling
For decades, we have been hearing about recycling, especially plastics. Education on recycling for most of us in our 40s started in elementary school, with programs, ads, etc., promoting its benefits and how you can help mitigate the effects of climate change.
Metal Free Battery: Ionic Liquids
Research in the field of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased since their initial discovery in 1914 by Paul Walden. Ionic liquids, salts in liquid state, are frequently described as being liquid below an arbitrary value of 100°C…
Phosphazene High Polymers and Models with Cyclic Aliphatic Side Groups: New Structure–Property Relationships
Poly(dichlorophosphazene) is a versatile precursor material for accessing new polymeric materials via the introduction of various side groups by chlorine…
Synthesis of Poly(ionic liquid)s by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization with ppm of Cu Catalyst
Well-defined poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) were synthesized by activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP).
Molecular Simulation and Experimental Study of CO2 Absorption in Ionic Liquid Reverse Micelle
The structure and dynamics for CO2 absorption in ionic liquid reverse micelle (ILRM) were studied using molecular simulations.
Modular polymerized ionic liquid block copolymer membranes for CO2/N2 separation
The continuing discovery of broad classes of materials, such as ionic liquids, zeolites, metal–organic frameworks, and block copolymers, presents…
Interactions in 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetracyanoborate ion pair: Spectroscopic and density functional study
