Funded Activity Summary

Nanostructured Ionic-Molecular Hybrid Liquids. This project aims to produce a new class of green, economical, non-toxic, low volatility, designer solvents from mixtures of one or more molecular components, and ionic liquid-inspired salts. By manipulating the intermolecular forces between components of these nanostructured ionic molecular "hybrid liquids" (HLs), we will develop new understanding of how liquid structure arises from the nano- to the colloidal and even micro-scale. HLs will enable the development novel complex fluids, which are liquids containing interacting particles, polymers, and/or surfactants. Lubricants developed from HL based complex fluids will act as a “test-bed” application for the new understanding this project will engender, towards use of HLs in diverse areas.
