Abstract

Modern society is heavily dependent on advancements in polymer science, however, there are increasing environmental concerns about plastics waste that demand sustainable solutions. Ionic Liquids (ILs) have emerged as non-innocent solvents that demonstrate significant potential in polymer chemistry for both synthesis and depolymerization. This review highlights recent advancements in IL-based functional polymers, with particular focus on their applications in separation, energy storage, fire resistance, recycling, and biomedicine. Furthermore, the role of IL-driven polymer media in the research and development of polymer synthesis and degradation technologies is evaluated. Overall, ILs have emerged as key tools in advancing polymer technology, enabling the obtention of new valuable materials and supporting eco-friendly practices.

期刊介绍： Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
