Abstract:

A novel porous polymer-ionic liquid composite with poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIPF6) has been synthesized by gamma-irradiation without heat or chemical initiators. The products can be reversibly converted into organogels. The composites are potential candidates for electrochemical applications. The use of gamma-radiation can be a simple and versatile alternative way to obtain these materials. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
