Abstract
Ionic liquids have you been used to modify the properties of many classes of materials. This includes their use as solvents and catalysts in simple chemical reactions. However, they have also been used to improve the synthesis and processing of materials as well. This presentation will review our efforts to utilize ionic liquids to enable the processing and enhance the properties of polymer composites. Specifically, we will cover composites based on multiwalled-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT), Montmorillonite (MMT) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Novel measurement methods, used to characterize the impact of ionic liquids on the material properties of polymers, nanoparticles and polymer nanocomposites, such as fluorescence life-time imaging and inverse gas chromatography (iGC) will also be presented.
