Surface Treatment of Kevlar® Polyaramid Fibers with Imidazolium Dicationic-based Ionic Liquids

Moraes C.V., da Silva V.D., Schrekker H.S., Amico S.C., Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, BR

Polyaramid fibers (Kevlar) can be used to strengthen materials due to their high tensile strength-to-weight ratio and high thermal stability. These properties of Kevlar fibers can be attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the [...]

Synergistic response of ionic liquid ([bmim][BF4]) entrapped in BHDC reverse micelles for gold nanoparticles synthesis. Size and morphology control

Blach D., Martinez F., Universidad Industrial de Santander, CO

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for many application due to their unique properties, particularly gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) stand out because their properties triggered by small changes in their size and morphology. Nowadays, the great [...]

Ionic Liquids as Heat Transfer Medium

Schubert T.J.S., Sahin H., Götz M., Bär K., Buchholz D., Stiemke F., IOLITEC Ionic Liquids Technologies Inc., US

Ionic liquids are defined as pure salts with melting points below 100°C. Their high heat capacity, low vapor and incombustibly make them to promising candidates as thermal fluids. A limiting factor thereby is the resistance [...]

Novel Electrolytes for Supercapacitors

Stiemke F., Blumenröder B., Schubert T.J.S., IOLITEC Ionic Liquids Technologies Inc., US

Supercaps using ionic liquids (ILs) as novel electrolytes have gained much attention because of their interesting profiles of physical and chemical properties , such as tunable viscosities and conductivities, chemical and thermal stability as well [...]

Ionic Liquids for CO2 capture

Stiemke F., Iliev B., Adamová G., Schubert T.J.S., Romanos G., Kroon M., IOLITEC Ionic Liquids Technologies Inc., US

Since it is known that IL have the tendency to retain CO2 both physically (physical sorption) as well as chemically (chemisorption)[1], they can be used for the direct capture of CO2 replacing the current process [...]
