Hydrophobic thermoplastic starch supramolecularly-induced by a functional sucrose based ionic liquid crystal

Improvement of the physicochemical properties of composite materials based on cassava starch and polycaprolactone reinforced with sodium montmorillonite

“…Finally, a striking strategy is the inclusion of additives that reduce the affinity to polar compounds, as is the case with nanoparticles isolated from proteins, among many other additives. (Yang et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2021).…”

Synthesis and physical properties of tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids based on 1-aryl-4,5-dimethylimidazolium cations

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special class of solvents generally defined as salts with melting points below 100 °C [1]. Due to their unique properties, e.g., their high thermal stability and their negligible vapor pressure [2,3], ILs have found widespread use in different fields of chemistry like synthesis [4][5][6][7][8][9], catalysis [10][11][12][13][14] and materials science [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. ILs generally consist of an organic cation [24], such as the imidazolium or ammonium ion and an inorganic anion like a halide anion or weakly coordinating anions like bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [NTf 2 ] − [25].…”

Smart emulsion system driven by light‐triggered ionic liquid molecules and its application in eco‐friendly water‐saving dyeing

“…[7][8][9][10] The versatile nature of functionalized ionic liquid molecules positions them as an exciting class of materials with the considerable potential for application in diverse fields, [11][12][13][14] including the green synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and polymers. [15][16][17] This can lead to the increased reaction rates, selectivity, and yield, thereby minimizing the need for harsh reaction conditions. ILs can act as functional surfactants, lowering the interfacial tension between immiscible phases.…”

“…In recent years, various functionalized ionic liquids have gained significant attention [7–10] . The versatile nature of functionalized ionic liquid molecules positions them as an exciting class of materials with the considerable potential for application in diverse fields, [11–14] including the green synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and polymers [15–17] . This can lead to the increased reaction rates, selectivity, and yield, thereby minimizing the need for harsh reaction conditions.…”
