Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science in Polymer Engineering, University of Akron, Polymer Engineering.
Ionic liquids have attracted interest as non-volatile liquids for numerous applications. An alternative material are deep eutectic solvent (DES) generated by mixing interacting crystalline species to generate a eutectic with a melting point below room temperature. In this thesis DESs were prepared by mixing quaternary ammonium compounds and diacids, which interact through hydrogen bonding. Mono- and di-functional quaternary ammonium compounds were either purchased or synthesized and mixed with different aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. The overarching goal of this work was to investigate DES formation from difunctional quaternary ammonium and dicarboxylic acid compounds to determine if polymeric-like DES could be obtained, with corresponding polymeric like properties (i.e. viscoelasticity, high viscosity, glass formation). Differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy were used to investigate the phase behavior of the different quaternary ammonium/acid pairs to determine the structural features that contribute to deep eutectic formation.
