Poly(ionic liquid)-carbon nanotubes self-supported, highly electroconductive composites and their application in electroactive devices

Poly(ionic liquid) composites

“…Ricci and coworkers prepared dry electrochemical actuators using an imidazolium PIL and CNT composite gel as the electrode. 108 A direct correlation between the size of the anion (Br À , BF 4 À , and TFSI À ) in the electrode and the resulting strain of the actuator could be detected, i.e., large anions lead to high strain. Consequently, the displacement response of the actuator was proportional to the size of the counteranions.…”

Poly(vinylimidazole-co-butyl acrylate) membranes for CO2 separation

“…[15] However, imidazole-based poly(RTIL) are too brittle to form free-standing membranes and therefore have to be incorporated into porous polymer membranes as support or added into composites together with e.g. nanocellulose [16] or carbon nanotubes [17] [18], which provides the necessary flexibility and mechanical stability to the systems. Alternatively, RTILs can also be grafted onto polymers, which possess excellent mechanical properties, such as polyimides, [19][20] polybenzimidazoles, [21] [22] polyesters, [23] polyethersulfones, [24][25] polyurethane [26] to form novel and mechanically stable poly(ILs) membrane through condensation polymerization or by polymer modification.…”
