ABSTRACTThe extraordinary combination of high thermal stability, low volatility and the possibility of tailoring the physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids (ILs) by modifying their molecular features such as the length and nature of the cation lateral chains and the anion size and composition, has open the field of application of these green ordered fluids.ILs have shown their ability to provide effective lubrication with very low friction coefficients and wear rates under conditions for which the currently used lubricating fluids fail. These conditions cover strategic technologies such as aerospace, microelectronics and nanotechnology applications.At the present moment, there exist no liquid lubricants for high temperature, high vacuum and cryogenic conditions. We have determined the lubricating ability of ILs under extreme temperature conditions.We have determined the conditions for the formation of tribocorrosion reaction products at metal-metal and metal-polymer interfaces. In the case of fluorine or phosphorus-containing imidazolium ionic liquids, formation of metallic fluorides and phosphates at the contact surfaces is the determining wear mechanism step.The surface interactions of imidazolium room temperature ILs have been studied in a variety of materials in sliding contact under variable conditions, both as neat lubricants and as additives of conventional basestocks.The ability of ILs molecules to interact with surfaces has also been explored in nanotechnology applications. It is well known that the use of ILs as solvents in the synthetic route, allows the control of size and shape of a variety of nanoparticles. We have developed new polymer/IL/nanoparticle nanocomposites where the size, morphology and distribution of the nanoparticles are controlled by surface interactions with IL molecules.

The lubricating ability of one halogen-free and one halogen-containing phosphonium-based ionic liquids are investigated as neat lubricants, lubricant additives and thin lubricant layers in steel-steel contact. The use of the ionic liquids in any of the three lubricating methods reduced friction and wear compared to a base mineral oil. The halogen-free ionic liquid outperformed the halogen-containing ionic liquid in the three methods of lubrication. The highest friction and wear reduction were obtained when ionic liquids were used as neat lubricants. Under this condition, friction reductions of 37.21% and 25.73 %, and wear reduction of 47.12% and 41.18% compared to the based mineral oil were obtained for the halogen-free and halogen-containing ionic liquids respectively. The wear mechanisms and surface interactions are discussed in terms of ionic liquid-metal surface interactions from optical and SEM images and EDS analysis.

ABSTRACTIonic liquids (ILs) are receiving a great deal of attention as synthetic and dispersion media for colloidal systems, as well as alternatives to organic solvents and electrolyte solutions. Colloidal stability is an essential factor for determining the properties and performance of colloidal systems combined with ILs. The remarkable properties of ILs primarily originate from their highly ionic nature. While such high ionic strength often causes colloidal aggregation in aqueous and organic dispersions, certain colloidal particles can be well dispersed in ILs without any stabilizers. First, we will discuss the colloidal stability of bare and polymer-grafted silica nanoparticles and the surface force between silica substrates in ILs. Three different repulsions between colloidal particles—electrostatic, steric, and solvation forces—will be highlighted. A possible interpretation of the stabilization mechanism in ILs, both in the presence and in the absence of stabilizers, will be proposed. Next, we will provide an overview of our recent studies on colloidal soft materials with ILs. On the basis of dispersed states of the silica colloids, two different soft materials, colloidal gel and colloidal glass in ILs, were fabricated. Their functional properties (such as ionic transport, rheological properties, and optical properties) and the microstructure of the colloidal materials will also be presented.
