ABSTRACT
30Ionic liquids (ILs) as a new kind of media or materials have been widely studied in broad fields such as material science, catalysis, electrochemistry, and analytical chemistry. Many ionic liquids show a unique combination of physical and electrochemical properties such as electric conductivity, electrochemical stability, noninflammability, and very low vapor pressure; as a consequence many of these ILs are interesting materials for different electrochemical applications and have been investigated in the areas such as batteries, electric double layer capacitors, fuel cells, sensors, and actuators. The studies reported in the research article on the utilization of ILs as accelerator of curing of nitrile rubber. The results indicated that IL significantly reduced optimum cure time with a scarifying loss in physical properties.
