Development of multifunctional ionogels derived from a dynamic deep eutectic solvent

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jul 13;59(57):8814-8817. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02158k.

Abstract

A new polymerizable and dynamic deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride and α-lipoic acid is proposed. By virtue of thermally-initiated ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic disulfide and multiple dynamic interactions (disulfide, hydrogen, and coordination bonds), multifunctional ionogels with good comprehensive properties are developed and explored as potential flexible conductors.
