This book summarizes the latest knowledge in the science and
technology of ionic liquids and polymers in different areas. Ionic
liquids (IL) are actively being investigated in polymer science and
technology for a number of different applications. In the first
part of the book the authors present the particular properties of
ionic liquids as speciality solvents. The state-of-the art in the
use of ionic liquids in polymer synthesis and modification
reactions including polymer recycling is outlined. The second part
focuses on the use of ionic liquids as speciality additives such as
plasticizers or antistatic agents. The third part examines the use
of ionic liquids in the design of functional polymers (usually
called polymeric ionic liquids (PIL) or poly(ionic liquids)). Many
important applications in diverse scientific and industrial areas
rely on these polymers, like polymer electrolytes in
electrochemical devices, building blocks in materials science,
nanocomposites, gas membranes, innovative anion sensitive
materials, smart surfaces, and a countless set range of emerging
applications in different fields such as energy, optoelectronics,
analytical chemistry, biotechnology, nanomedicine or catalysis.

Polymers with redox properties are electroactive macromolecules
containing localized sites or groups that can be oxidized and
reduced. Depending on the oxidation state, redox polymers can
present different electronic, optical, mechanical or chemical
properties. These polymers are finding new applications in
materials science, as well as being included in the design of a
number of electrochemical devices. Redox Polymers for Energy and
Nanomedicine highlights trends in the chemistry, characterization
and application of polymers with redox properties. The book starts
with an introduction to redox polymers and covers several important
topics including redox polymer types, state-of-the-art
characterization techniques, synthetic strategies and theory and
computational studies. The second part is devoted to the redox
polymers applied in energy and nanomedicine. First, the most
important redox polymer families in energy storage are reviewed,
i.e, radical, phenothiazine, carbonyl and catechol containing
polymers. The book also contains recent developments in redox
polymers for biofuel cells and all-organic batteries. Second, the
emerging applications of redox polymers in nanomedicine
technologies such as, tissue engineering, drug-delivery, actuators
or biosensors are explained in detail. With contributions from
global experts, the book will be of interest to graduate students
and researchers working in polymer science, electrochemistry,
energy research and nanomedicine.
