Synthesis and Electric Field Actuation of an Ionic Liquid Polymer

摘要

Polymerizable ionic liquids and their actuation in an electric field are a combination of material and properties with unique potential to display structural and fluid dynamics above that found for small molecule ionic liquids.Small molecule ionic liquids are generally monovalent organic salts with melting points or glass transitions below room temperature.They derive their liquid character from a selection of ionic structures which have very weak tendencies to coordinate with oppositely charged ions,low intermolecular forces and low symmetry.
