This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

Vibrational spectroscopy has continued use as a powerful tool to characterize ionic liquids
since the literature on room temperature molten salts experienced the rapid increase in …

Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs), that is, ionic liquids exhibiting mesomorphism, liquid crystalline
phases, and anisotropic properties, have received intense attention in the past years …

Ionic liquids are often named solvents of the future because of flexibility in design. This
statement has given credence that ionic liquids should simply replace the problematic …

The last five years' achievements in the synthesis and investigation of thermotropic ionic
liquid crystals are reviewed. The present review describes the mesomorphic properties …

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides is a continuous
series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences …

Ionic liquids with intermediate nonpolar cationic side-chain lengths are known to have
nanoscale spatial heterogeneities with nonpolar tail domains separated by a continuous …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a broad group of organic salts of varying structure and properties, used
in energy conversion and storage, chemical analysis, separation processes, as well as in …

A new class of surface active ionic liquids (SAIL) have been reported to be a greener
alternative to the conventional surfactants in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). These SAILs …

Ionic liquid crystals are materials that combine the classes of liquid crystals and ionic liquids.
The first one is based on the multi-billion-dollar flat panel display industry, whilst the latter …
