Abstract
Different water-sol. 3-methyl-imidazolium chloride based ionic liqs. contg. side groups of different aliph. chain lengths have been prepd. via microwave-assisted synthesis. Reaction conditions for this synthetic approach have been optimized as well. The obtained ionic liqs. and their aq. solns. were used to perform and stabilize dispersion polymns. of cross-linked polymeric beads (which can find application in anal. purposes such as chromatog. columns). The aliph. chain length as well as the concn. of the ionic liqs. in the aq. solns. revealed an important influence on the stabilization of dispersions, allowing to \"tune\" the size of the synthesized beads from millimeter scale to nanometer scale. Moreover, the ionic liqs. and/or their aq. solns. could be recovered after the synthesis of the beads and used again as a reaction medium for performing new reactions opening an \"environmentally friendly\" approach to this synthetic procedure.
