Preparation, application and development of poly(ionic liquid) microspheres

Poly(ionic liquid) microspheres are a new type of polymer microsphere that has piqued the interest of researchers due to their superior properties and wide range of applications. In this paper, the synthesis and application of poly(ionic liquid) microspheres in recent years are reviewed. The basic classification, structure and properties of poly(ionic liquid) microspheres are briefly described, as well as the characteristics of poly(ionic liquid) microspheres of various kinds and structures, including some novel micro spheres, new synthesis processes, and new application fields. The critical factors that determine these applications, such as high specific surface area, electrorheological properties, porosity, conductivity, and adsorption properties, are discussed.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
