Synthesis and characterization of thermoset imidazolium bromide ionomers

A comprehensive review of the structures and properties of ionic polymeric materials

“…91 As far as cationic ionomers are concerned, imidazolium and quaternary ammonium-functionalized polymers are among the most representative ionic functions. [92][93][94] Interestingly, Odent et al designed multi-responsive nanocomposites based on imidazolium-functionalized PUs and well-defined sulfonate surface-modified silica nanoparticles. 14,95 Unlike previous ionomers, unique and unconventional strain-rate dependent behavior (i.e.…”

Tuning triboelectric and energy harvesting properties of dielectric elastomers via dynamic ionic crosslinks

“…1,2 Parent and coworkers have investigated the synthesis and characterisation of IIR based ionomers in detail. 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The solution-borne IIR derivatives bearing reactive functionalities, such as carboxyl group, ester group and ether group, were prepared by nucleophile substitution of BIIR. 3,11,12 With respect to pyridine or imidazole nucleophile substitution of BIIR, the structure and chain length of the nucleophiles, and the substitution sited on the heterocyclic ring affect the structure and properties of the ionic clusters, which subsequently influence the mechanical properties and self-healing efficiency of the ionic-modified elastomers.…”

Synthesis of carboxylated derivatives of poly(isobutylene-co-isoprene) by azide–alkyne “click” chemistry

“…Over the past few decades, different synthetic methods have been applied to modify IIR and improve its properties. 6,[23][24][25][26] Among these, the synthesis of carboxylated IIR is of particular interest because polar groups like carboxylate moieties enhance adhesion as compared to IIR, which is very hydrophobic in nature. [27][28][29] The introduction of carboxylate groups also increases the modulus and tensile strength of rubbery materials, [30][31][32][33] and allows further functionalization/modification of IIR.…”
