Elucidating the hydration state and driving force for LCST-type phase transitions in thermoresponsive ionic liquids and thermoresponsive ionic liquid-derived polyelectrolyte gels
Upon heating, the LCST-type phase transition is induced in both the monomeric and gel states of [N4][C6] by the dehydration of water molecules in the secondary hydration shell near the ammonium cation.
