Ion and polymer transport in polymerized ionic liquids
Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) is a novel type of ionic polymers in which small molecule ionic liquids (ILs) are covalently attached to a polymer backbone. The advantages of ILs include high thermal and electrochemical stability, high ionic conductivity, negligible volatility and board design …

Polymerized ionic liquids by condensation polymerization: Stimuli responsive polyurethane gels and dispersions
<p>Ionic liquids have been used in free radical polymerizations to make polymerized ionic liquid (PIL) materials of various types. PIL gels based on imidazolium cations have been found to exhibit an anion-exchange induced stimuli responsiveness. This thesis explores incorporation of ionic liquids …

Imidazole-Containing Polymerized Ionic Liquids for Emerging Applications: From Gene Delivery to Thermoplastic Elastomers
… imidazolium homopolymers displayed higher ionic conductivities compared to the alkyl-containing analogs which was attributed to increased solvation of electrostatic interactions in the hydroxyl analogs. Beyond functionalizing 1VIM monomers and homopolymers to tailor various properties, the …

Polymerization of bromoundecylacrylate and alkylating methylimidazole
<p>Polymerized ionic liquids (PIL) generally are solids, but a few examples have been reported that also exhibit liquidity in the neighborhood of room temperature called liquid polymerized ionic liquids (LPIL). The development of a platform suitable for exploring LPIL properties based on the …

From N to P: Examining Structure-Property Relationships of Ammonium- and Phosphonium-Containing Macromolecules
… Along with the two different cationic atoms, the alkyl substituent lengths and counterions were varied to generate a thorough structure-property relationship analysis. Phosphonium macromolecules displayed improved thermal stabilities and improved ionic conductivities compared to …

Shockwave energy dissipation by mechanoresponsive materials
… is investigated. In a series of network-forming ionic liquids (NILs) synthesized, each NIL possesses a different nano-scale structure consisting of charged clusters and alkyl domains. Irreversible shock-induced structural ordering changes with the creation of new nano-segregated domains in the …
