Abstract

A new series of LCST ILs have been copolymerised with crosslinkers of varying length to afford the first ever thermoresponsive poly(ionic liquid)-based hydrogels. These hydrogels exhibit surprisingly broad LCST and volume transition behaviour compared to standard thermoresponsive gels and linear ILs.
