摘要

Compared with the traditional MIL

DIL could play a role as physical cross-links among PMMA chains by hydrogen bonding between PMMA and imidazolium rings. The additional physical network tends to form at high DIL content

due to the probability of physical cross-links formation increases with increasing DIL concentration.

Abstract

The dynamic behavior of entangled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chains in both the traditional monocationic ionic liquid (MIL) and synthetic dicationic ionic liquid (DIL) with the same anion bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([TFSI]

−

) has been examined over the wide composition range using differential scanning calorimetry and rheological measurements. PMMA/DIL and PMMA/MIL systems exhibit two glass transitions in the midrange of composition due to self-concentration effects. PMMA in DIL shows slower relaxation behavior

however

after the iso-free-volume correction

the terminal relaxation time

of PMMA in both the DIL and MIL presents the power law behavior

with exponent

conforming to experimental results for conventional polymer solutions (

=2.0±0.2). At high ILs concentration (70%)

the entanglement molecular weight

of PMMA/DIL system is lower than that of PMMA/MIL system owing to the formation of additional physical network in DIL

while the difference of

is reversed at low ILs content. The composition dependence might be related to the fact that the probability of formation of physical cross-linking points in linked double imidazolium ring increases with the increase of DIL content. The recovered creep strain of PMMA/DIL is almost 18 times of PMMA/MIL

exhibiting significantly better viscoelastic behavior.
