Eftekhari A. (Ed.) Polymerized Ionic Liquids

The Royal Society of Chemistry, UK, 2018. — 562 p. — (RSC Smart Materials No. 29). — ISBN: 978-1-78262-960-3.Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) are a new member of the family of ionic polymers, and are of both fundamental and practical interest. The classic ionic polymers have a partial ionicity, while PILs are entirely ionic. The flagship of ionic liquids is Nafion, which is a commercial product that has been widely utilized since the 1970s. Owing to its high cost and reduced flexibility in design, a simple approach in studies of PILs is to find alternatives to Nafion in various applications employing Nafion membranes. However, the applicability of PILs goes beyond the conventional applications of ionic polymers, as they have introduced numerous new opportunities.Polymerization in Ionic Liquids
