Pickering emulsion polymerization of poly(ionic liquid)s encapsulated nano-SiO2 composite particles with enhanced electro-responsive characteristic

Poly(ionic liquid)s encapsulated nano-SiO2 composite particles were synthesized by a Pickering emulsion polymerization, which showed enhanced electro-responsive electorheological effectiveness and temperature stability because nano-SiO2 could act as cross-linking points to restrain thermally promoted segment relaxation of poly(ionic liquid)s and improve the activation energy of ion transport.273
