📖 A Study on the Wettability of an Ionic Liquid Thin Film. Simultaneous Hydrophilicity/Oleophobicity of EMIIm on silica substrate.

Simultaneous hydrophilic/ oleophobic materials are desired for various applications where anti-fogging coatings are required, such as for solar cells or sensors. An ionic liquid thin film would be an ideal coating; it can be applied physically, has low toxicity, and is thermally stable. This project explores the simultaneous hydrophilic/ oleophobic wetting behavior of a thin film of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (EMIIm) on silica substrate.
