Title: "Polymers in Ionic Liquids"
Ionic liquids have generated considerable excitement for their varied potential applications and their interesting physical properties. The viability of ionic liquids (ILs) in materials applications is limited by their lack of mechanical integrity, which may be provided by mixing them with a polymeric material.
Two in One: Researchers Develop Polymer that Can Be Adapted to High and Low Temperature Extremes
The modern world is filled with synthetic polymers, long-chained molecules designed by scientists to fill all manner of applications.
Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed two closely related polymers that respond differently to high and low-temperature thresholds, despite their similar design. The polymer pair could be used in applications in medicine, protein synthesis, protective coatings and other fields. Their work is published in Macromolecules.
