Aqueous gelation of ionic liquids: reverse thermoresponsive ion gels.
The aqueous gelation of a quaternary ammonium oligo(propylene oxide)-based ionic liquid yields ion gels with a reverse thermoresponsive behavior (i.e., mechanical moduli and viscosity increase with temperature) and enhanced ionic conductivities.
