Gels prepared from metal containing ionic liquids with cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) have surface compositions and mechanical properties that can be controlled by Lewis basicity and acidity of the metal species.

A novel strategy was reported on the design and fabrication of functional photosensitive hybrid sols (FPHSs) by non-alcoholic emulsification in the presence of a TiO2 nanoparticle and photoinitiator via a sol-gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) and hydrophobic silane coupling agents as precursors. Smart cellulose substrates with alterable superhydrophobic–superhydrophilic conversion were fabricated using FPHS via the ultraviolet (UV) curing process. The liquid FPHS was photocured into solid gel during UV irradiation for 40 s with MPSs in FPHS, which was verified via Fourier transform infrared spectra. The cellulose substrates were modified with FPHSs, and the water contact angles of the modified cellulose substrates were more than 150°. The superhydrophobicity was improved by the gathering of hydrophobic chains and particle deposition of hybrid gel on the fiber surface. Nevertheless, the water contact angles of the modified cellulose substrates were receded with UV irradiation from 158° to 0° in 200 min, due to TiO2 photoinduction. The irradiated cellulose substrates were placed in the dark, and the water contact angles were recovered to about 130°, gradually. What is more, the reversible process can be repeated more than eight times. The modified cellulose substrate presented excellent washing fastness, even suffering 10 times washing processing. The mechanical properties, including breaking strength and elongation rate, were improved after the coating and UV curing process, which considerably remedied the defects of the heating curing process on the mechanical properties.

Thermoelectrochemical cells are a promising new technology for harvesting low-grade waste heat. The operation of these cells relies on a redox couple within an electrolyte, which is most commonly water-based, and improvement of these materials is a key aspect of the advancement of this technology. Here, we report the gelation of aqueous electrolytes containing the K3Fe(CN)6/K4Fe(CN)6 redox couple using a range of different polymers, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Cmc), polyacrylamide (PAAm), and two commercial polyurethane-based polymers: HydroMed D640 and HydroSlip C. These polymers produce quasi-solid-state electrolytes with sufficient mechanical properties to prevent leakage, and allow improved device flexibility and safety. Furthermore, the incorporation of various ionic liquids within the optimized hydrogel network is investigated as a route to enhance the electrochemical and mechanical properties and thermal energy harvesting performance of the hydrogels.

In this work, the spinnging process of tussah silk/cellulose blend fiber using ionic liquids as solvent has been studied and the optimum spinning parameters were obtained from the orthogonal test. The structures morphology and properties of blend fibers were investigated through mechanical properties, SEM and FTIR. The result showed that break strength was 1.4124cN/dtex and break elongation was 9.803% in the condition of the optimum spinning parameters.

Deep eutectic ionic liquids (DES) possess similar properties to conventional ionic liquids (ILs). However, ILs cannot be considered as environmentally friendly compounds due to both its processing and synthesis, which could have significant polluting effects. On the contrary, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) can be biodegradable, non-toxic, and have a lower price than most ILs, making them potentially useful in a wide variety of advanced technological applications, such as tribology. On the other hand, graphene has recently been proposed as an extremely promising lubricant due to its combination of mechanical properties and chemical stability as well as its “green” character. In the present paper, graphene flakes (≈250 nm) have been used as an additive to DES composed of choline chloride (ChCl)-urea, ChCl-ethylene glycol, and ChCl-malic acid. According to the results, the addition of 1 wt% graphene reduces friction coefficient (COF) and, notably, prevents adhesive wear, reducing wear rate on steel-steel sliding contacts.
