Abstract

Polymeric ionic liquids, methods of making and methods of using the same are disclosed.

Claims (15)

1. A polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) comprising: i) a cationic component comprising an ionic liquid (IL) that is polymerized, and ii) one or more anionic components, wherein the anionic components can be the same or different;

wherein the anionic component comprises a taurate component.

2. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component comprises least one or more: quaternary ammonium, protonated tertiary amine, thionium, phosphonium, arsonium, carboxylate, sulfate or sulfonate groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, linear, branched, cyclic, or aromatic.

3. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component comprises: a quaternary ammonium, a protonated tertiary amine, imidazolium (IM) or substituted IM, pyrrolidinium or substituted pyrrolidinium, or pyridinium or substituted pyridinium.

4. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component comprises one or more of: monocationic components, dicationic components, tricationic components, other multicationic components, and mixtures thereof.

5. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component comprises an IL monomer modified through one or more of: incorporation of alkyl chains having different lengths, aromatic components, and/or hydroxyl-functionality.

6. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component is described by the general formula of (XRR′R″H) + , where X is N, P, or As; and wherein each of R, R′, R″ is selected from the group consisting of one or more of: a proton, an aliphatic group, a cyclic group, and an aromatic group.

7. The PIL of claim 1 , wherein the cationic component comprises one or more of: VHIM + , VDDIM + , VHDIM + , or BBIM + .

8. A device comprising an absorbent or absorbent coating comprising at least one PIL of claim 1 , coated onto a support.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the support comprises one or more of: a solid fused silica support, a stir bar, a fiber, a film, a membrane, a fibrous mat, or a woven or non-woven material.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the PIL is at least partially crosslinked.

11. A solid phase microextraction material (SPME) comprising an absorbent material comprising the PIL of claim 1 .

12. The solid phase microextraction material of claim 11 , wherein the support comprises one or more fibers at least partially coated with the PIL material.

13. A solid phase microextraction (SPME) material comprising an absorbent material comprising a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) material comprising a PIL, wherein the PIL comprises (i) a cationic component comprising an ionic liquid (IL) that is polymerized, and (ii) one or more anionic components, wherein the anionic components can be the same or different;

wherein the PIL material includes one or more extraction additives or phase modifiers that aid in selectively increasing the extraction efficiency or promoting wetting of glass or metal substrates, wherein the extraction additives or phase modifiers comprise one or more of: micelles, monomer surfactants, cyclodextrins, nanoparticles, or synthetic macrocycles.
