Ionic liquids (ILs) are of great interest for many applications due to their unique properties, such as vanishing volatility, high ion conductivity, and tunable solvation property, compared to conventional solvents. With ILs, thermo-responsive polymers show interesting and unusual phenomena under wide temperature range. In this talk, thermoresponsive polymers in ILs will be discussed: (i) shuttling of the IL-filled polymersomes between water-IL phases for nanoreactor applications; (ii) sequential and reversible actuation of a microactuator by tuning the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) copolymers in an IL. |
