Abstract

AbstractPoly(ionic liquid)s are ion-containing polymers possessing ionic liquid structures on their repeating units. Owing to the unique physicochemical properties of ionic liquids, many existing studies have found that the properties of poly(ionic liquid)s are distinct from those of conventional ion-containing polymers, such as poly(sodium styrene sulfonate). A lot of scientific efforts have been made to understand the relationship between the chemical structure and the material properties of poly(ionic liquid)s, and several good review papers are available in the literature. The aim of this short review is to summarize key results on the viscoelastic properties of poly(ionic liquid)s in solution. We discuss in detail the counterion condensation and the charge screening in poly(ionic liquid) solutions. Graphical Abstract
