Abstract

The use of ionic liquids as functional building blocks based on pyridinium, imidazolium and phosphonium cations to achieve materials combining a structuration at nanoscale with the dramatic mechanical properties of the resulting ionomers has been successfully demonstrated for the first time in a fluorinated matrix.
