Hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquids with onion-like topology as transporters and compartmentalized systems

Abstract

A new family of hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquids ("hyperILs") with onion-like topology and facile polarity design were tailored as transporters and compartmentalized systems. Applications include transport and dispersion of water-soluble dyes and functionalized graphene nanosheets from aqueous phase into nonpolar fluids, including polymer melts.
