One-pot synthesis of self-healable and recyclable ionogels based on polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers via Schiff base reaction

Abstract

Novel ionogels with covalent polymeric networks based on polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers have been synthesized by the <italic>in situ</italic> crosslinking of amines <italic>via</italic> Schiff base reaction in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAc]).
