Encapsulation of ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)amide ([Hmim][TFSA]), was carried out by microsuspension polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) utilizing the self-assembling of phase-separated polymer method, which had been proposed by us for the preparation of hollow polymer particles. After the optimization of the polymerization conditions, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles, which have smooth surface morphology and a single hollow structure, were successfully prepared. Encapsulation efficiency of [Hmim][TFSA] was significantly improved from about 20–70 % by changing the shell polymer from polyEGDM homopolymer to poly(EGDM-butyl methacrylate) (50/50,w/w) copolymer, which was likely to have relatively low affinity for [Hmim][TFSA]. Additionally, ionic liquid-encapsulated polymer particles displaying ionic conductivity were successfully prepared using triethylene glycol dimethacrylate as divinyl monomer instead of EGDM.
