Development of Novel Functionality of Ionic Liquids through Control of Their Demension and Function.

为了研究离子结构与功能之间的关系，人们合成了许多离子液体。在数据的基础上，开发了新的功能。各向同性离子液体的尺寸控制被用来实现各向异性离子传导或其他各向同性液体所不能实现的性质。然后，我们成功地创造了新的离子液体，通过微小的温度变化，在与水的相分离和混相之间显示出明显的转变。此外，我们还设计了无需加热即可溶解纤维素的极性离子液体。

Many ionic liquids have been synthesized to surveyrelationship between ion structure and their functionalities. Based on the data, novelfunction has been developed. Dimensional control of isotropic ionic liquids have been carried out torealize anisotropic ion conduction or other properties that cannot be realized by isotropic liquids. Thenwe succeeded to create new ionic liquids that show clear transition between phase separation with waterand miscible phase by small temperature change. Also we designed polar ionic liquids that dissolvecellulose without heating.
