In recent years, the designer nature of ionic liquids (ILs) has driven their exploration and
exploitation in countless fields among the physical and chemical sciences. A fair measure of …

Due to their outstanding properties such as high optical transparency, high electrical
resistance, high thermal insulation, good thermo-mechanical properties, and dimensional …

Ionic liquids are emerging as important materials for applications in electrochemical devices,
green chemistry etc. For device applications, ionic liquids are generally, either incorporated …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as a new type of non‐aqueous solvents for biocatalysis,
mainly due to their unique and tunable physical properties. A number of recent review …

The current strong interest in ionic liquids is motivated by their unique combination of
properties such as negligible vapour pressure, thermal stability, non-flammability, high ionic …

This chapter focuses on one of the most studied aerogel materials, silica aerogels. It aims at
presenting a brief overview of the elaboration steps (sol–gel synthesis, aging, and drying) …

Over the last decade, ecodesign has been introduced as a concept and a methodological
framework to identify and improve sustainability in product development. In this context, the …

Sol-gel syntheses involving either neutral water or formic acid as a reactant have been
investigated (1) to determine the best conditions to confine a maximum of ionic liquid (IL) …

The introduction of a novel ionic environment, which is composed of a large, asymmetric
organic cation and inorganic (or organic) anion that loosely fit together, is extending the …

This work addresses the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as additives for formation of epoxy-silica
nanocomposites, via the simultaneous sol–gel process and epoxy network build-up. The …
