| In this paper, we reviewed the applications of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ionic liquids including their mixtures particularly between ionic liquids and chemical compounds for preparation of advanced polymer blends and composites. In the preceding researches we have found that ionic liquids and their mixtures could be effectively used as environmentally friendly solvent, plasticizer, coupling agent and compatibilizer. These materials have the ability to improve properties of polymer blends and composites that consisted of natural and synthetic polymers. On the other hand, we also included our previous and other studies that consumed the mixture of ionic liquids and chemical compounds for preparation of polymer blends and composites in the form of aerogels, films, composite films and biocomposites. |
