In this work, we report the synthesis of ion-conductive gels, or ionic gels, via thiol-ene click reactions. The novel gel systems consist of the multifunctional thiol monomers tris[(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)-ethyl]-isocyanurate (TEMPIC), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (PEMP), and dipentaerythritol hexakis(3-mercaptopionate) (DPMP) as joint molecules and bifunctional allyl ionic liquid (IL) as a crosslinker. The thiol-ene reaction was carried out in lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI) in a propylene carbonate (PC) (1 M) solvent system via a photopolymerization process. The chemical structure and mechanical, thermal, and conductive properties of the gels were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), compression tests, and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The mechanical and conductive properties of the ionic gels were found to be largely dependent on the monomer content and functionalities of the joint molecules. TGA revealed good thermal stability of the gels up to 100 °C. An ionic conductivity of 4.89 mS cm−1 was realized at room temperature (298 K) for low-functional thiol monomers, and a further increase in ionic conductivity was observed with an increase in Li+ ion content and temperature.

Thermal-depended conductive properties of the ternary-POM-based layer-structure ionic liquid [TOAMe]4[In(H2O)PW11O39] was investigated. It shows fast ionic conductivity as high as 2.2 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 90 °C with the conductive activation energy of 30.19 kJ mol−1, which is related to its state, obviously increasing during the reversible phase transformation from a quasi-solid-state gel phase to an isotropic sol phase.

We synthesized the novel adduct-type organic ionic crystal [C3mim][SCN·B(C6F5)3] (1) by the reaction of 1–methyl–3–propylimidazolium thiocyanate ([C3mim][SCN]), which is a room temperature ionic liquid, and B(C6F5)3, a bulky Lewis acid. The formation of a coordinative B–N bond between the SCN anion and the B(C6F5)3 in 1 was revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. We showed that 1 displays ionic conductivity in the crystalline state and that doping 1 with sodium thiocyanate and B(C6F5)3 results in a dramatic increase in ionic conductivity compared to that of 1.

AbstractTraditional particle board can generate harmful indoor air emissions due to the volatile resin-based compounds present. This study investigated the preparation of sawdust particle board using the novel ionic liquid based fusion approach with [EMIM]OAc. The dissolution parameters were investigated using the thermal optical microscopy technique. The particle board sheets were prepared by hot pressing sawdust in the presence of ionic liquid (IL) ([EMIM]OAc) and subsequently purifying the fusion sawdust matrix from the IL with methanol. The fusion process of the sawdust particles was analysed with SEM and mechanical testing. The raw materials and the produced materials were investigated with elemental analysis, FTIR, and 13C-SS-NMR. IL fusion of the sawdust required a temperature above 150 °C, similar to the glass transition temperature (tg) of lignin. At lower temperatures, strong particle fusion was not obtained. It was observed that the sawdust/IL weight ratio was an important parameter of the fusion process, and a 1:3 weight ratio resulted in the strongest particle boards with a tensile strength of up to 10 MPa, similar to commercial particle boards. The particle fusion process was also studied with a twin-screw extruder. The extrusion enhanced the fusion of the sawdust particles by increasing dissolution of the sawdust particles, which was subsequently seen in elevated tensile strength (20 MPa). The study provides a practical view of how sawdust-based particle board can be manufactured using ionic liquid-based fusion.

The structure of Candida rugosa lipase can be affected by solvents used in the enzymatic reactions. Using molecular dynamics simulation as a tool to study the Candida rugosa lipase structure, we studied the effect of various solvent systems, such as water, water-methanol, and water-methanol-ionic liquid. These solvent systems have been chosen because lipase is able to function in both aqueous and non-aqueous medium. In this study, pyridinium (Py)-based ionic liquids were selected as co-solvent. The MD simulation was run for 50 nanoseconds for each solvent system at 328 K. In the case of water-methanol-ionic liquids solvent systems, the total number of the ionic liquids added were varied: 222, 444, and 888 molecules. Water was used as the reference solvent system. The structure of Candida rugosa lipase in water-methanol system significantly changed from the initial structure as indicated by the RMSD value, which was about 6.4 Å after 50 ns simulation. This value was relatively higher compared to the other water-methanol solvent system containing ionic liquid as co-solvent, which were 2.43 Å for 4Py-Br, 2.1 Å for 8Py-Br, 3.37 Å for 4Py-BF4 and 3.49 Å for 8Py-BF4 respectively. Further analysis by calculating the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) of each lipase residue found that the presence of ionic liquids could reduce changes in the enzyme structure. This happened because the anion component of the ionic liquid interacts relatively more strongly with residues on the surface of the protein as compared to methanol, thereby lowering the possibility of methanol to come into contact with the protein.

Abstract In the last decade, hydrophilic Ionic liquids have been emerged as an additive in drilling fluids for clay swelling inhibition. However, the application of hydrophobic Ionic liquids as a clay swelling inhibitor have not been investigated. In this study, the combination of hydrophobic Ionic liquids and Gemini surfactant were studied to evaluate the inhibition performance. The novel combination of hydrophobic ionic liquid (Trihexyltetradecyl phosphonium bis(2,4,4-trimethyl pentyl) phosphinate) and cationic gemini surfactant (GB) was prepared by mixing various concentrations of both chemicals and then preparing water based drilling fluid using other drilling fluid additives such as rheological modifier, filtration control agent, and pH control agent. The wettability of sodium bentonite was determined by contact angle with different concentrations of combined solution. Some other experiments such as linear swelling, capillary suction test (CST) and bentonite swell index were performed to study the inhibition performance of ionic liquid. Different concentrations of novel combined ionic liquid and gemini surfactant were used to prepare the drilling fluids ranging from (0.1 to 0.5 wt.%), and their performances were compared with the base drilling fluid. The wettability results showed that novel drilling fluid having 0.1% Tpb-P - 0.5% GB wt.% concentration has a maximum contact angle indicating the highly hydrophobic surface. The linear swelling was evaluated over the time of 24 hours, and least swelling of bentonite was noticed with 0.1% Tpb-P - 0.5% GB wt.% combined solution compared to linear swelling in deionized water. Furthermore, the results of CST also suggested the improved performance of novel solution at 0.1% Tpb-P - 0.1% GB concentration. The novel combination The novel combination of hydrophobic ionic liquids and gemini surfactant has been used to formulate the drilling fluid for high temperature applications to modify the wettability and hydration properties of clay. The use of novel combined ionic liquid and gemini surfactant improves the borehole stability by adjusting the clay surface and resulted in upgraded wellbore stability.
