title: Photopolymerization of self-organizing ionic liquids.
abstract: In this article we describe the photo-initiated cyclopolymerization of N,N-diallyl-N-dodecylammonium chloride and N,N-diallyl-N-hexadecylammonium chloride in aqueous lyotropic mesophases using a low power UVA domestic sunlamp to produce anisotropic polymers. We further demonstrate the formation of cross-linked anisotropic polymer networks upon the addition of 1,8-bis-(N,N-diallylammonium)octane chloride.
