Structure-activity relationships of ionogels consisting of thiol-ene photopolymerized poly(ionic liquid) networks and protonated ionic liquids.
Project Abstract
Ionogels are crosslinked polymer networks swollen with ionic liquids. Ionogels offer unique properties which combine the physicochemical properties of the ionic liquid (conductivity, thermal/electrochemical stability) with the mechanical properties of the network. Examples of applications in which ionogels are utilized include energy storage devices and sensors. In this work, we will describe a method whereby covalently crosslinked poly(ionic liquid) networks were prepared using thiol-ene photopolymerization in the presence of a protonated ionic liquid. The amount of protonated ionic liquid was varied (0-30-wt%) in order to investigate the effects on the thermal and conductive properties of the networks. Due to the protonated nature of the ionic liquids used, humidity was also varied for the conductivity experiments.
