Abstract:
An ionic conductive elastomer with good comprehensive properties is constructed from a ternary polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) containing choline chloride, acrylic acid and itaconic acid (IA). The IA component is found to boost the synergetic hydrogen bonds and greatly improve the mechanical strength of elastomer.
