The merger of ionic liquid and liquid crystal fields, obtained by creta girl half wig using the imidazolium ring as a common element, has allowed us to tailor a new set of materials which associate specific functionalities.These functionalities are consequences of the original properties of the component, ionic liquids, liquid crystals and their association in a single compound.The pitkin and mother gaston study of this interesting association led us to elaborate environment-flexible cationic architectures from which mesomorphic properties emerge.
Moreover, we have also explored the influence of different anions on the mesomorphic properties.
