Abstract
A new class of ion gels, termed ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) gels, formed by physical entanglement of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers in ionic liquids, are synthesised using facile one step radical polymerisation with significantly low initiator conditions, and exhibit superior mechanical characteristics such as stretchability, recyclability, and room temperature self-healing ability. In this study, UHMW gels are synthesised using various combinations of monomer and IL structures, and the effect of their chemical structures on the physicochemical properties of UHMW gels are thoroughly investigated. UHMW polymers are prepared in situ for all combinations of ILs and monomers used in this study, indicating the wide applicability of this fabrication strategy. The structure-property relationships between chemical structures and mechanical properties of UHMW gels are investigated in detail. Furthermore, the differences in self-healing efficiency of UHMW gels depending on the chemical structure is discussed in terms of individual polymer conformation and polymer-polymer interaction based on molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Endblock associative ABA gels in midblock selective solvents are attractive due to their easily tunable mechanical properties. Here, we present the effects of A- and B-block lengths on the rheological properties and microstructure of ABA gels by considering three low and one high polymer concentrations. The triblock polymer considered is poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(n-butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA-PnBA-PMMA] and the midblock solvent is 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. The gelation temperature has been found to be strongly dependent on the B-block (PnBA) length, as longer B-blocks facilitate network formation resulting in higher gelation temperature even with lower polymer chain density. Longer A-blocks (PMMA chains) make the endblock association stronger and significantly increase the relaxation time of gels. Temperature-dependent microstructure evolution for the gels with high polymer concentration reveals that the gel microstructure does not change significantly after the gel formation takes place. The dynamic change of microstructure in an applied strain cycle was captured using RheoSAXS experiments. The microstructure orients with the applied strain and the process is reversible in nature, indicating no significant A-block pullout. Our results provide new understandings regarding the temperature and strain-dependent microstructural change of ABA gels in midblock selective solvents.

Abstract
Due to the wide application, it is very crucial to understand the viscoelasticity of the polyurethane elastomer (PU, denoted by soft-hard block copolymer), which contains the soft segments (SS) and hard segments (HS). Thus, in this work, the effect of the content and strength of HS on the viscoelasticity of PU is explored in detail by adopting a coarse-grained model. First, the phase morphology of PU is characterized where both the single continuous phase and the bicontinuous phase are observed by varying the content of HS. Then, the viscoelasticity of PU is calculated by analyzing the storage modulus, the loss modulus, and the loss factor, which depends on the content and strength of HS. To further elucidate the mechanism for the storage modulus, the normalized interaction energy, the order parameter, and the formation probability of the HS or SS phase are characterized with the shear strain amplitude, which reflects the deformation of the phase structure. Then, the energy dissipation is quantified, which can rationalize the loss modulus well. A parameter is introduced, which considers the relative slippage and the content of HS or SS. It can explain the change in the loss factor with the content and strength of HS. In summary, this work can help to further understand how the content and strength of hard segments affect the viscoelasticity of the soft-hard block PU and structure evolution at the molecular level.

Abstract
There has been a great deal of interest in incorporating noncovalent bonding groups into elastomers to achieve high strength. However, the impact resistance of such elastomers has not been evaluated, even though it is a crucial mechanical property in practical usage, partly because a large-scale synthetic scheme has not been established. By ionizing the rubber component in polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene (SIS), we prepared several tens of grams of SIS-based elastomers with an ionically functionalized rubber phase and a sodium cation (i-SIS(Na)) or a bulky barium cation (i-SIS(Ba)). The i-SIS(Na) and i-SIS(Ba) exhibited very high tensile toughness of 520 and 280 MJ m-3, respectively. They also exhibited excellent compressive resistance. Moreover, i-SIS(Ba) was demonstrated to have a higher impact resistance, that is, more protective of a material being covered compared to covering by typical high-strength glass fiber-reinforced plastic. As such elastomers can be produced at an industrial scale, they have great market potential as next-generation elastomeric materials.

Abstract
In the past two decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have blossomed as versatile task-specific materials with a unique combination of properties, which can be beneficial for a plethora of different applications. The additional need of incorporating ILs into solid devices led to the development of a new class of ionic soft-solid materials, named here iongels. Nowadays, iongels cover a wide range of materials mostly composed of an IL component immobilized within different matrices such as polymers, inorganic networks, biopolymers or inorganic nanoparticles. This review aims at presenting an integrated perspective on the recent progress and advances in this emerging type of material. We provide an analysis of the main families of iongels and highlight the emerging types of these ionic soft materials offering additional properties, such as thermoresponsiveness, self-healing, mixed ionic/electronic properties, and (photo)luminescence, among others. Next, recent trends in additive manufacturing (3D printing) of iongels are presented. Finally, their new applications in the areas of energy, gas separation and (bio)electronics are detailed and discussed in terms of performance, underpinning it to the structural features and processing of iongel materials.

Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical work has shown that sticker clustering can be used to enhance properties such as toughness and creep resistance of polymer networks. While it is clear that the changes in properties are related to a change in network topology, the mechanistic relationship is still not well understood. In this work, the effect of sticker clustering was investigated by comparing the dynamics of random copolymers with those where the stickers are clustered at the ends of the chain in the unentangled regime using both linear mechanics and diffusion measurements. Copolymers of N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) and pendant histidine groups were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The clustered polymers were synthesized using a bifunctional RAFT agent, such that the midblock consisted of PDMA and the two end blocks were random copolymers of DMA and the histidine-functionalized monomer. Upon addition of Ni ions, transient metal-coordinate crosslinks are formed as histidine-Ni complexes. Combined studies of rheology, neutron scattering and self-diffusion measurements using forced Rayleigh scattering revealed changes to the network topology and stress relaxation modes. The network topology is proposed to consist of aggregates of the histidine-Ni complexes bridged by the non-associative midblock. Therefore, stress relaxation requires the cooperative dissociation of multiple bonds, resulting in increased relaxation times. The increased relaxation times, however, were accompanied by faster diffusion. This is attributed to the presence of defects such as elastically inactive chain loops. This study demonstrates that the effects of cooperative sticker dissociation can be observed even in the presence of a significant fraction of loop defects which are known to alter the nonlinear properties of conventional telechelic polymers.

Abstract
The diversification of electrochromic materials greatly expands the application fields of electrochromic devices. However, highly flexible electrochromic materials remain challenging due to the inherent limitations associated with the existing electrochromic processes. Inspired by the hydrogen bonding effect in the hydrogel structure, a highly elastic and bistable electrochromic ionic gel based on a hydrogen bonding cross-linking network is prepared by solution polymerization having excellent tensile resilience, uniform coloring, reversible switching (≤24.3 s), maximum transmittance change (≥80%), bistability (54 h), reversibility (>500 cycles), and coloration efficiency (≥85.3 cm2·C-1). This method has been used to develop bistable electrochromic displays. The unconventional exploration of the bistable design principle may provide a new idea for the realization of bistable electrochromic devices.

Abstract
Conventional telechelic ionomers have one ion fixed at each end, enabling the chains to form a physical network. Here we report a type of telechelic ionomers with a distribution of the number of ions at the chain ends, which endows them with very rich rheological properties. We synthesized the ionomer samples via a two-step polymerization. Namely, we synthesized a precursor chain first and then polymerized a few ion-containing monomers at its two ends. An average number of ion-containing monomers per chain end, m, varies from 0 to 3.0. Linear viscoelasticity of these samples can be well explained through considering the Poisson distribution of m, and the hierarchical relaxation of the chains ends according to the number of connecting ions that exhibit the coupling motion.

Abstract
In this study, we introduce a new method of developing ion gels through polymerization of lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) templates of monomer (styrene), cross-linker (divinylbenzene), ionic liquid (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate), and amphiphilic block copolymers (Pluronic F127). The polymerization of the oil phase boosts the mechanical properties of the ion-conducting electrolytes. We discuss the effect of tortuosity induced by crystalline domains and LLC structure on the conductivity of ion gels. The ion transport in polymerized LLCs (polyLLCs) can be controlled by changing the composition of the mesophases. Increasing the block copolymer concentration enhances the crystallinity of PEO blocks in the conductive domains, which slows down the dynamics of PEO chain and ion transport. We show that by adjusting the composition of LLC mesophases, the mechanical strength of ion gels can be increased one order of magnitude without compromising the ionic conductivity. The polyLLCs with 45/25/30 wt% (block copolymer/IL/oil) composition has storage modulus and ionic conductivity higher than 1 MPa and 3 mS cm-1 at 70 °C, respectively. The results suggest that LLC templating is a promising method to develop highly conductive ion gels, which provides advantages in terms of variety and processing.

Abstract
Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with additional functionalities such as electronic conductivity, self-healing, thermo-responsiveness, or biocompatibility are actively being searched for high demanding applications. In this work, a simple and rapid synthetic pathway to prepare elastic and thermoreversible iongels is presented. These iongels are prepared by supramolecular crosslinking between polyphenols biomolecules with a hydroxyl-rich biocompatible polymer such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in the presence of ionic liquids. Using this strategy, a variety of iongels are obtained by combining different plant-derived polyphenol compounds (PhC) such as gallic acid, pyrogallol, and tannic acid with imidazolium-based ionic liquids, namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. A suite of characterization tools is used to study the structural, morphological, mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties of the supramolecular iongels. These iongels can withstand large deformations (40% under compression) with full recovery, revealing reversible transitions from solid to liquid state between 87 and 125 °C. Finally, the polyphenol-based thermoreversible iongels show appropriated properties for their potential application as printable electrolytes for bioelectronics.

Abstract
High-temperature durability is critical for application of organic materials in electronic devices that operate in harsh environments. In this work, thermostable physically cross-linked polymer electrolytes, or thermostable physical ion gels, were successfully developed using crystallization-induced phase separation of semicrystalline polyamides (PAs) in an ionic liquid (IL). In these ion gels, phase-separated PA crystals act as network junctions and enable the ion gels to maintain their mechanical integrity up to 180 °C. ILs and ion gels are suitable electrolyte candidates for thin-film devices operating at high temperatures because they outperform other electrolytes that use aqueous and organic solvents, owing to their superior thermal stability and nonvolatility. In addition to thermal stability, the PA gels exhibited high ionic conductivity (∼1 mS/cm) and specific capacitance (∼10 μF/cm2) at room temperature; these values increased significantly with increasing temperature, while the gel retained its solid-state mechanical integrity. These thermostable ion gels were successfully used as an electrolyte gate dielectric in organic thin-film transistors that operate at high temperatures (ca. 150 °C) and low voltages (<1 V). The transistors gated with the dielectrics had a high on/off current ratio of (3.04 ± 0.24) × 105 and a hole mobility of 2.83 ± 0.20 cm2/V·s. By contrast, conventional physical ion gels based on semicrystalline polymers of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) and polyvinylidene fluoride lost their mechanical integrity and dewetted from a semiconductor channel at lower temperatures. Therefore, these results demonstrate an effective method of generating thermally stable, mechanically robust, and highly conductive solid polymer electrolytes for electronic and electrochemical devices operating in a wide temperature range.

Abstract
In this work, the structural fluctuations and vibrational energy transfer dynamics in a supramolecular homodimer model, which is composed of 2-(9-anthracene)ureido-6-(1-undecyl)-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPAn) with quadruple intermolecular and single intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs), have been examined using ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) and steady-state IR spectroscopies. A less structurally fluctuating intermolecular HB is found between the pyrimidinone C═O and ureido N-H groups. However, a larger structurally fluctuating intramolecular HB is suggested by the equilibrium and dynamical line-shape measurements of the ureido C═O stretch. Further, dynamical time-dependent 2D IR diagonal and off-diagonal signals show that intra- and intermolecular vibrational energy transfer processes occur on the picosecond timescale, where the latter is more efficient due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction and through-space interaction.

Abstract
The thermoreversible sol-gel transition for an ionic liquid (IL) solution of isotactic-rich poly (N-isopropylacrylamides) (PNIPAMs) is investigated by rheological technique. The meso-diad content of PNIPAMs ranges between 47% and 79%, and molecular weight (Mn) is ~35,000 and ~70,000 g/mol for two series of samples. PNIPAMs are soluble in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide ([BMIM][TFSI]) at high temperatures but undergo a gelation with decreasing temperatures. The transition temperature determined from G’-G” crossover increases with isotacticity, consistent with the previous cloud-point result at the same scanning rate, indicating imide groups along the same side of backbones are prone to be aggregated for formation of a gel. The transition point based on Winter-Chambon criterion is on average higher than that of the G’-G” crossover method and is insensitive to tacticity and molecular weight, since it correlates with percolation of globules rather than the further formation of elastic network (G’ > G”). For the first time, the phase diagram composed of both G’-G” crossover points for gelation and cloud points is established in PNIPAM/IL mixtures. For low-Mn PNIPAMs, the crossover-point line intersects the cloud-point line. Hence, from solution to opaque gel, the sample will experience two different transitional phases, either clear gel or opaque sol. A clear gel is formed due to partial phase separation of isotactic segments that could act as junctions of network. However, when the partial phase separation is not faster than the formation of globules, an opaque sol will be formed. For high-Mn PNIPAMs, crossover points are below cloud points at all concentrations, so their gelation only follows the opaque sol route. Such phase diagram is attributed to the poorer solubility of high-Mn polymers for entropic reasons. The phase diagram composed of Winter-Chambon melting points, crossover points for melting, and clear points is similar with the gelation phase diagram, confirming the mechanism above.

Abstract
Organic/inorganic hybrid complementary inverters operating at low voltages (1 V or less) were fabricated by transfer-stamping organic p-type poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and inorganic n-type zinc oxide (ZnO) electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs). A semicrystalline homopolymer-based gel electrolyte, or an ionogel, was also transfer-stamped on the semiconductors for use as a high-capacitance gate insulator. For the ionogel stamping, the thermoreversible crystallization of phase-separated homopolymer crystals, which act as network cross-links, was employed to improve the contact between the gel and the semiconductor channel. The homopolymer ionogel-gated P3HT transistor exhibited a high hole mobility of 2.81 cm2/(V s), and the ionogel-gated n-type ZnO transistors also showed a high electron mobility of 2.06 cm2/(V s). The transfer-stamped hybrid complementary inverter based on the P3HT and ZnO EGTs showed a low-voltage operation with appropriate inversion characteristics including a high voltage gain of ∼18. These results demonstrate that the transfer-stamping strategy provides a facile and reliable processing route for fabricating electrolyte-gated transistors and logic circuits.

Abstract
Ion gels, composed of macromolecular networks filled by ionic liquids (ILs), are promising candidate soft solid electrolytes for use in wearable/flexible electronic devices. In this context, the introduction of a self-healing function would significantly improve the long-term durability of ion gels subject to mechanical loading. Nevertheless, compared to hydrogels and organogels, the self-healing of ion gels has barely investigated been because of there being insufficient understanding of the interactions between polymers and ILs. Herein, a new class of supramolecular micellar ion gel composed of a diblock copolymer and a hydrophobic IL, which exhibits self-healing at room temperature, is presented. The diblock copolymer has an IL-phobic block and a hydrogen-bonding block with hydrogen-bond-accepting and donating units. By combining the IL and the diblock copolymer, micellar ion gels are prepared in which the IL phobic blocks form a jammed micelle core, whereas coronal chains interact with each other via multiple hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds between the coronal chains in the IL endow the ion gel with a high level of mechanical strength as well as rapid self-healing at room temperature without the need for any external stimuli such as light or elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Two types of thin-film electrochemical devices (electrolyte-gated transistors and electrochemical light-emitting cells) are demonstrated using area-controllable ionogel patches generated by transfer-stamping. For the successful transfer of ionogel patches on various target substrates, thermoreversible gelation by phase-separated polymer crystals within the ionogel is essential because it allows the gel to form a conformal contact with the acceptor substrate, thereby lowering the overall Gibbs energy of the system upon transfer of the ionogel. This crystallization-mediated stamping provides a much more efficient deposition route for producing thin films of ionically conductive high-capacitance solid ionogel electrolytes. The lateral dimensions of the transferred ionogels range from 1 mm × 1 mm to 40 mm × 40 mm. These ionogel patches are incorporated in organic p-type and inorganic n-type thin-film transistors and electrochemical light-emitting devices. The resulting transistors show sub-1 V device operation with high transconductance currents, and the optoelectronic devices emit orange light through a series of electrochemical redox reactions. These results demonstrate a simple yet versatile route to employ physical ionogels for various solid-state electrochemical device applications.

Abstract
Room temperature ionic liquids are of great interest for many advanced applications, due to the combination of attractive physical properties with essentially unlimited tunability of chemical structure. High chemical and thermal stability, favorable ionic conductivity, and complete nonvolatility are just some of the most important physical characteristics that make ionic liquids promising candidates for emerging technologies. Examples include separation membranes, actuators, polymer gel electrolytes, supercapacitors, ion batteries, fuel cell membranes, sensors, printable plastic electronics, and flexible displays. However, in these and other applications, it is essential to solidify the ionic liquid, while retaining the liquid state properties of interest. A broadly applicable solidification strategy relies on gelation by addition of suitable triblock copolymers with the ABA architecture, producing ion gels or ionogels. In this paradigm, the A end blocks are immiscible with the ionic liquid, and consequently self-assemble into micellar cores, while some fraction of the well-solvated B midblocks bridge between micelles, forming a percolating network. The chemical structures of the A and B repeat units, the molar mass of the blocks, and the concentration of the copolymer in the ionic liquid are all independently tunable to attain desired property combinations. In particular, the modulus of the resulting ion gel can be readily varied between 100 Pa and 1 MPa, with little sacrifice of the transport properties of the ionic liquid, such as ionic conductivity or gas diffusivity. Suitable A blocks can impart thermoreversible gelation (with solidification either on heating or cooling) or even photoreversible gelation. By virtue of the nonvolatility of ionic liquids, a wide range of processing strategies can be employed directly to prepare ion gels in thin or thick film forms, including solvent casting, spin coating, aerosol jet printing, photopatterning, and transfer printing. For higher modulus ion gels it is even possible to employ a manual "cut and stick" strategy for easy device fabrication. Ion gels prepared from common triblock copolymers, for example, with A = polystyrene and B = poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(methyl methacrylate), in imidazolium based ionic liquids provide exceptional performance in membranes for separating CO2 from N2 or CH4. The same materials also are the best available gate dielectrics for printed plastic electronics, because their high capacitance endows organic transistors with milliamp output currents for sub-1 V applied bias, with switching speeds that can go well beyond 100 kHz, while being amenable to large area roll-to-roll printing. Incorporation of well-designed electroluminescent (e.g., Ru(bpy)3-based) or electrochromic (e.g., viologen-based) moieties into ion gels held between transparent electrodes yields flexible color displays operating with sub-1 V dc inputs.
