Abstract

Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are emerging as interesting materials since they are expected to combine together the technological properties of ionic liquids (ILs) and liquid crystals (LCs). In this chapter, we will present a survey of the literature of the last 5 years, from 2005 to mid-2010 concerning ILCs. The chapter is divided into four sections: ILCs based on organic cations (and anions), metal-based ILCs and polymeric ILCs, and applications of ILCs.
