The merger of ionic liquid and liquid crystal fields, obtained by using the imidazolium ring as a common element, has allowed us to tailor a new set of materials which associate specific functionalities. These functionalities are consequences of the original properties of the component, ionic liquids, liquid crystals and their association in a single compound. The study of this interesting association led us to elaborate environment-flexible cationic architectures from which mesomorphic properties emerge. Moreover, we have also explored the influence of different anions on the mesomorphic properties.
离子液体和液晶领域的合并,通过使用咪唑环作为共同元素,使我们能够定制一组新材料,这些材料具有特定的功能。这些功能是组分的原始性质——离子液体、液晶及它们在单一化合物中的结合——的结果。对这种有趣的结合的研究使我们能够从中制定出环境灵活的阳离子结构,从中产生出介向性质。此外,我们还探讨了不同阴离子对介向性质的影响。
